Celeste Reed - Tolo, Greece

Celeste Reed
Last night, our little group had an adventure. Before the trip started, we made a pact that we would jump into a body of water despite how cold it might be. During our free time in the evening at Tolo, we decided it was time to do it. Our hotel was directly on the beachfront making it the perfect place to carry out our pact. After spending a little time out on the town getting crepes and exploring, we put on our bathing suits and braved the Aegean Sea. Tori, Cassie, Nick, Phil and I were the only ones brave enough. I was the first one in after sprinting from the shoreline. Surprisingly, it was not as cold as I thought it would be, however the wind did not help. After dunking my whole body under a couple times and posing for some photo-ops, my warm towel was very inviting. The water had to be somewhere near 50 degrees, but how many people can say they had the experience of jumping into a freezing Mediterranean!! It was truly an experience that I will never forget and I am glad that I got to be a part of it.
