Glyfada

So we all ate incredibly odd (but probably well loved by the Greeks) din din last night (some crazy "meatloaf" that wasn't so great) with an incredible Greek Salad but a lackluster desert. That said, it was enough to send our 28 hours weary bones up to icy cold rooms (the AC's work GREAT! Not the norm for Europe), shower and get 7 hours of sleep. The group is combined with three other small small groups, there are 38 of us in total and very few students. that said, our group of 12 is very much our own little pod and a fun fun pod at that. We've decided that we all hope to be as in love as Tom and Kathy when we have shared as much life as they have as they are so dang cute to watch together it should be a crime. The "New Braunsfels" group are still the craziest clan of them all but now they've added "Izzy and Jody" to the group and oh boy...wow. Of course Teresa and Tonya are my buds from the education trench and we are enjoying  having fun instead of being at the grind together. And mom...bless her heart. While it is so tempting to tease about being here with her, I feel so blessed to have her with me and I am enjoying every minute of it. (Ask me how I feel in a week :).

Glyfada is a busy seaside town with pretty watter, several beaches, shops, restaurants, etc. We are loving the proximity we have to any number of resources. We are about 30 minutes outside of Athens, but the bus ride is welcomed already as our feet hurt, we are sweaty/sticky (temps in mid-high 90's today) so the sit down and bit of AC is nice!
