Well today we left town that we had been staying in and it was so sad!! We have made so many amazing friends their that it felt like we were leaving our home. This morning we left the Sunshine house and then went fishing with our friend George!!! He is honestly the most genuinely nice person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ever since we met him he has made us feel at home in this wonderful town by the beach. He has cooked for us several meals (considering the sunshine house never feeds us) and has made sure that we have seen everything possible. Anyways he took us fishing, which was a first for me, and we had a blast! Although we didn't catch anything it still was a funny random experience to take with me. He then took us to his home and fed us some traditional greek food that I can't even pronounce, but it was delicous!

The day before was our day off and George took us to go get coffee at Azuls (which is also the local bar). Greeks are big on coffee here and a morning without coffee is considered sinful, haha. so we enjoyed a taste cafe with George and Pavlos and proceeded with the rest of our day. This consisted of George cooking for us yet another meal, and then going into Lampsakos. In Lampsakos we bought poster board and construction paper and made everyone thank you. cards! After that we went back to FOODBREAK one last time and worked on our cards awkwardly while all the local village boys watched haha. Pavlos (who works at food break) was so sweet and brought us out a chocolate crepe (our favorite!). After that we headed to Azuls had some strawberry girly alcoholic drinks, which were sooo yummy and then headed back to the sunshine house for one last night!

Ahh I almost forgot, the day before that another George took us to this fancy classy bar place in Halkida. Me and chelsea felt all legit and like fancy young adults. haha IT was classy for reals!!!! It was beautiful and right on the water and me and Chelsea where like the babies sitting at the bar.

The villagers in the Lampsakos Bourdgi area have been so kind to us and we have managed to make many friends. A couple of our new guy friends throughought the past two days have even become almost paternal in their care for our safety. We have recieved several talks about being smart, not too trustworthy, and taking care of ourselves and they too have warned us about greek men haha. They even want us to keep them updated so that they know that we are safe! haha Mom and Dad, we have people in Evia keeping track of our safety as well!! haha

Leaving today made me realize that the people really make a place. To all my friends on the Island of Evia I miss you already!!!!!

As of now our plans are kind of up in the air. When we arrived back in Athens today we had absolutely no idea where we were going to stay. Luckily things have a way of working out for us, and we have now acquired a couch at Athens Backpackers (the hostel that we stayed at in the beginning of our trip.) HAHAHAHA ahhhh yup thats right we are sleeping on a random couch in Athens and living the real life of backpackers. Our life has become liberating in the way that we never know whats going to happen. anyways we hope to stay their a couple of nights and then with our new friend Anna who we met on the WONDERFUL Island of Evia!!! It gets a little hazy from there and we might possibly go to another farm in crete, we will keep you updated.

Haha life here is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't be any happier with the way things have been turning out. These past two weeks have flown by and I have the feeling that i first had when I landed. It's weird that a third of my trip is over, but exciting to know that the rest of my time here is full of even more adventures!!!


LOVE YOU GUYS hope all is well back in the states.
