pizza, parthenon, post-dated updates
So, for those of you who haven't recieved the boone of facebook as of yet, this'll be the quickest update ever.
Went to Athens, found awesome hostel, populated almost entirely with Australians and Americans. Took a cruise to the island of Crete, checked out the ruins of the Palace of Knossos (labyrinth, minotaur, 8000 years old, etc), went to the Acropolis, saw the Parthenon and various other temples. Did a lot of window shopping, lot of eating, lot of cheap drinking.
I've got another month by myself in this country (and some time in Italy as well), so I'm likely going to be posting a lot more often, when Levon leaves. He came to keep me company for the first week, but he's gone tomorrow so that's when the real test of how well I'll survive will come.
If I stop posting for some reason, I've either died, or gone into some sort of traumatic shock from missing you guys too much.
If you want photos of my adventures, I'm only posting them on the facebook 'cause I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to do cross posting.
This morning was supposed to be Levon's last, so we'd checked him out of the hostel, but due to a confusion with dates he's still here, so I decided it would be a good night to try to find a hotel, for a change. I walked literally 20 seconds from our hostel, found a hotel called "The Parthenon", checked in (for 80 euros, which is nothing compared to what I thought it would be, looking at the place), and here we are. I just sent Levon down to the front desk to order Dominos, 'cause I'm missing it like crazy.
Hope y'all are doing well, I've been keeping up with reading entries but as we've been paying for internet mostly, my commenting has been sparse. It's free in the hotel though, so I'll definitely go back and do a lot of things I've been putting off, later tonight (which is the middle of the afternoon for you guys, I believe)
Much Love,
Traveling Erinn
