I Can See Turkey!



Last night was an eventful night because after going to the jewelry shop in Athens, one of my classmates and I went to dinner at what we thought was a cute and spunky Greek cafe. It turned out the the food was terrible so we left, went to a cafe (which has come to be known as the 'cuddle cafe' by most of our class) and had a delicious mixed appetizer plate and an incredible chocolate soufle.

Then we went home and straight to bed because today, we left for Rhodes!

At the airport, my bag was a little overweight, so the woman checking me in made me pay 12 Euro. Then, while talking to some of my other classmates, I learned that someone had a bag heavier than mine and didn't have to pay a dime....I got jipped, I think.
When we got to Rhodes, I realized that my cell phone wasn't with me and I couldn't find it anywhere... I emailed my parents to let them know and then took a nap before our group met briefly before dinner.

After I woke up from my nap, I realized that my body ached all over and felt swollen. So I took some IB Profin to try to make it feel a little better,and then went to dinner.

At dinner, every other table got a different kind of fish and a fun little salad that looked really yummy, that our table missed out on. But the food was still good and it was a good meal.

Then, lastly, I went back down to the lobby of the hotel to access the free wi-fi and do tonight's blog entry, and I could not, for the life of me, connect to the internet. I tried every single thing in the book, I asked 3 people from the hotel, and then they tried everything in the book. Nothing.
So I am writing my blog from one of my classmates almost dying computer after a long, frustrating, and tiring day.

But, hey, I'm finally in Rhodes and I can see Turkey from my House!!!!
It will be much better tomorrow. I'm sure of it :)
