Oh, Thee Mu, Den To Pistevo!

I can't believe I have been in Greece for a month and a half. It sure hasn't felt like it: it went by so damn fast... Too fast!
I went back to my Starbucks for the second time today.... It's so poli zesty that I just couldn't resist. Ella, I'm gone tomorrow anyway --- who cares?!
I was listening into people's conversations and trying to understand what they were saying...I'm really getting there! I can make out half the words they say sometimes!
Last night at the taverna, Karam caught me focusing on another table's conversation... I snapped out of it and him and Melina thought it was cool that I was really making an effort to understand and to speak Greek.

I walked around Piraeus and visited its Archaeological Museum this afternoon, since I had time to kill before heading to the metro with my luggage full of bricks (wish me luck with that one..) It was small, but nice...and had AIR CONDITIONNING. BUENO!

I love this country. I've met none but great peple inevery town I've visited or lived...! Although it's bloody zesty, I quickly adapted in Pylos and it was good practice, because once I got into Piraeus, BANG! Freaking poli zesty!!!
Who cares though, I'm in Hellas!

One of my favorite moments was befriending Melina. I thought she was so orea back in Pylos, teaching me words so I could make up my own half-ass sentences, and look where we are now! I'm hanging out with friends in a foreign country. Oh Thee Mu, it can't get any better than this!

To think that when I planned to stay an extra week after Lianne left that I would do day trips here and there and chill out...This whole trip was meant to be:
- I found a best friend in Lianne from the first minute I finally got to Pylos
- I found my my other numero unos in Kansas, South Carolina, New York and Indiana with whom we've shared so may crazy amazing times
- I met a poli oreo Americano whom I think is totally awesome
And last, but not least!
I found an apithana friend in Melina who is, in Karam's famous words, "you is shine... you is star... a shine star!"

I'm seriously going to miss this place. It was incredible that I had the opportunity to participate on an excavation (and to make the coolest friends EVER), to live in a beautiful town that is nice, quiet (unless we created some ruckus...TEEHEE!) and to travel a good part of the country afterwards to have a taste of what Greece is really about!

Hellas: S'agapo poli, poli, poli, poli, poli, POLI!!!!!!!

Oh, Canada: I'm COMING backkkkkkkk <3
