AHHHH Lampsakos is the best little town in Evia. It is so wonderful here and we have managed to make some very nice thoughtful friends. Usually our day consists of working at the Sunshine House early in the morning and then hanging out with our new friends late into the night. Our friends are practically all guys who all love to give us rides on their motorbikes haha. This makes for interesting adventures that otherwise could not be accomplished on foot. We met our new found friends at the friendly eatery across the street called Food Break. Chelsea and I are addicted to their delicous crepes and manage to sneak one in everytime we go there. If anyone were to walk by while we were there I'm sure we look quite out of place. The scene usually is as follows: me and chelsea (the two stray americans) surrounded by a hoard of close to 15 guys haha. They are all so nice and friendly and we have also managed to befriend two girls their names are Fotini and Anna. (Fotini is like our mother here always looking out for us).
With our new friends we have gone into Halkida, visited the local beaches watched movies, gone to the bars and eaten delicous food. The local beaches are well kept and our friends Alex Nicco and Mike took us to a secret one that no one else knows about. Unfortunately it was here that me and chelsea recieved serious foot wounds, mine was treated by the beloved tobacco. Rolling your own cigarettes is a common commodity around these parts and is also quite handy when healing a shallow wound. The two bars that we have been two both line the beach one is Azuls, and i can't remember the name of the other. Me and chelsea have found that we are usually the most excited to drink at the bars because for everyone else it is a usual past time. Last night our friend Fotini took us to her friends house George and he made us delicious sea clams complete with some type of sauce, and he caught them himself. He also grilled some seasoned chicken, and some type of bread with cheese. Did I mention how nice everyone is here?? Everyone welcomes us and takes us in, and treats us like long lost friends. Now when we walk through Lampsakos we actually have people that we recognize!!! ahh it is so wonderful here and I don't want to leave.
Unfortunately planes have changed with the Sunshine House and instead of staying there for four weeks we are onlystaying for two and then we are going back to Athens for a couple of nights and then of to Crete for one more week at an organic farm. From there we will depart to Santorini, Ios and Mykonos, and then come home. We have becomed so accustomed to living in Lampsakos now that its starting to feel like home. Well hope all is well back in the States can't wait to see you all!!!!
