So... last weekend didn't go exactly as we were 'not planning' it to go. I guess in Europe they don't do the discounted plane tickets if it's last minute. We were hoping to get cheap tickets to somewhere cool in Europe but the cheapest was 200 euros to Turkey. Needless to say I wasn't feeling to comfortable trying to figure out hotels and everything in Istanbul. I'm sure it is a great place but I feel as if the country isn't the MOST stable it could be right now.
Instead of just going back to the dorm, Alexa, Cass and I decided to get a hotel in downtown Athens for the weekend! I was really glad we ended up doing that because we all had a really great weekend! The hotel was called Hotel Central and it had a rooftop bar with an excellent view of the acropolis. We went out the first night to a small beer bar which was really fun! We also accidentally flooded our hotel room from the shower at one point but that's too long of a story for this blog to handle ;)
During the days we walked around the shops and restaurants. I bought some presents for my friends and family so I was happy to get some of that out of the way! I also got another ear piercing which was only 10 euros in a souvenir shop. It sounds pretty sketchy but it wasn't really. The prices are so so much cheaper than the U.S. I want to get a tattoo while I'm here but I think my parents would have a cow so to say. I might do it anyway since they have to love me regardless.
There's only 33 days till I come home! Bittersweet feelings are engulfing me whenever I choose to think about my departure from Greece. I have to say for sure that I think everyone should study abroad somewhere if at all possible. It has been the biggest and best experience of my life in so many ways and I hope everyone gets the chance to live somewhere else for a time. Χαι κάτι άλλο, ο καθένας Καληνύχτα!
