I've made it to Greece! I'm currently fending off Mosquitos in the port café we're passing the night in before we catch the ferry to Santorini in the morning, but whatever: I'm here in one piece.
So Greece. The countryside is beautiful. The water's really beautiful. Athens? Sketchy. Sketchy looking and dirty. We think we may have found the nicer part of town on the train, but there was no time to investigate.
The ferry tomorrow is out at 7:55 in the morning, and it's SEVEN HOURS LONG. I will try not to cry. Y'all know I don't do water. After that, though, it's 4 days of beach and sun and wonderfulness. I'm excited.
Things I've Learned:
1: Greek food is cheap
2: Greek food is delicious
3: Greek food is filling
4: Greece is diverse. I've seen more different types of people here in 7 hours than I have in 4 months in Belgium

Bonne année
First things first, happy new year! It's 2011, and here I am, living out of a suitcase like a vagabond and strangely okay with it. To everyone I saw, it was wonderful to see you before I left; to everyone I didn't see, we'll just have to have a Skype date or 2 one of these days.
Me myself, I spent New Year's Eve with my mummy and my granny, and New Year's Day with some of my favorite non-familial people, also known as my bestest best buddies from middle school. New Year's tradition dictates that we go down to Bee's place in Greenwood and have dinner together. It was good to have everyone together, since most times at least 2 of us are too busy to make it to the usual group functions.
You know how sometimes you take group pictures and everything you need to know about the group dynamic somehow makes it into that group picture? That's what this picture is for us. A similar phenomenon happened in 2010.
Shortly after this picture was taken, we all went our separate ways and I teared up a bit in the driveway saying goodbye to everyone (but hid it like a pro). I'm gonna miss those guys for the next 5 or so months; and y'all too, not to mention the handful of folks that I didn't get to see :[
The next time I update this thing, I'll be in Europe. :]
