Update from abroad
Well it is the weekend in Cyprus & honestly... there is nothing to do. Cyprus really isn't the place that I would want to live... here or come to again...ever. So that said I have booked an earlier flight home. I was supposed to leave May 28th but now I changed my flight to May 10th. I've done all I can do on this island. When it is just so hard to do stuff here. The closest beach is an hour away and we don't have cars so we have to call a taxi, which will end up being $50 American or a travel taxi which still will be about $30. So I have gone to the "coast" about 3 times the entire trip. So much for "island."
But good news, only 2 days till I go to Egypt. That is going to be awesome. We aren't going with any of the Americans that came on the trip THANK GOD. They are ridiculous. Don't even get my started. We are taking a cruise from another city out of Cyprus to Cairo. The food, accomodations & excursions to the pyramids & sphynx & cruise on the Nile are covered. I think it's going to be an awesome experience. First I saw the Acropolis in Athens which was a sight on its own, now I'm going to Africa!!! AFRICA! 2 days... just 2 days.
We come back on Wed and then we leave next Sat for Western Europe. We go to 9 countries: Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Strasbourg, Brussels/Leuven, Amsterdam & Paris.
So we have a 2 day waiting period till we leave. We will be gone for about 2 weeks and 3 days and then one week of exams RIGHT when we get back and then we leave that next week. Not bad! I won't have to be around these awful people for much longer. I'm glad that I won't have to talk to them much after this trip. It's not the WHOLE group... but a large # of them are just awful.
We are 7 hours ahead of FL but when we go to Europe we will only be 6. Rachel Chiles is in Avignon, France so when we go to Paris she is going to come and stay and hang with us. I can't wait to see a friend that I know!! We go to Amsterdam too... oh boy... damage WILL occur.
IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING I COULD DO IN THESE CITIES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME. We don't have that full of a schedule so just feel free to let me know! Thanks!
