Blog#1 Days one and two
The first day that we arrived in Athens, we went to a basketball game. It got pretty intense with the fans cheering and yelling. I was pretty exhausted after the day because we were on the planes for such a long time, but we still made the best of it. We had pie, chicken, potatoes with gravy, salad and chocolate ice cream with Carmel.
I learned the people seemed to drive anyway on the streets and we had to watch crossing the street because people were driving pretty fast. There was a lot of graffiti in Athens and low buildings. The city of Athens is surrounded by three mountains, which was really cool to look around and see.
On day two I accidentally woke up my roommates an hour early because my time wasn't set correctly, oops. We had breakfast then traveled three hours to Delphi to see the ruins. The view of the mountains was amazing and it was interesting to see the ruins and different artifacts in the museum. After the ruins we had lunch then went to our hotel in Delphi. Our view from our hotel room was incredible because we were up high and could see the water from our room.
Then a small group of us walked around the village and found a cemetery and a huge hill to hike on. We also found a school and I was able to look in the window to see what their classrooms looked like. I was even able to take a picture that I will showing to my education professors. We had a nice dinner at a small place in the village, then we all went out for the night after. The first two days were fun but I wish it would have been a little warmer.
