I spent my last evening in Greece with a Greek family for a birthday party. Boy was that a rewarding experience. I wanted so much to be in a real Greek house and experience the lifestyle and finally my last day I was given the opportunity :) I was able to experience first hand the incredible love of the parents for their children. It was very rewarding. I've been back in the United States for a little over a day now. I'm still so jet lagged that i went to sleep incredibly early and woke up at six. Ha not so pleasant. On the plane i watched alice in wonderland, dear john, and shutter island. Since I was unable to sleep because I was so sad..The first thing I noticed when I landed in Chicago is A. no more dominant dark features B. How different the attitudes here are.
While we were waiting for our next plane I ran over to the starbucks and got a frappacino- boy did i miss those :) When we finally landed in minneapolis i was greeted by two of my friends and my mother and sister. The second I saw my friends i started saying oh no please dont run..please dont run... hahah they didnt but they def walked very quickly towards me. They made me cup cakes that spelled out welcome back. Boy do i love those girls... Then my mother and my sister took me to taco bell. Then i came home and finished my paper and talked to my other best friend on the phone for quite a bit. I think I'll see her sunday which will be nice. Yesterday I spent most of the day doing nothing.. and freaking out and cleaning my room. its still soooooo messy its making me so anxious. I got ot see my boys though :) im bringing them to the zoo next week im so excited. Went to sleep early... and here i am. Woke up at 5 am. Today is my brothers graduation party. Then I think I'll go see a few friends.. I won't stay long though because I'm still a zombie. Class starts monday. Work starts tuesday.
Not sure if I'll continue to write on this blog, we shall see.

Hi Brit,
ReplyDeleteGreece sounds amazing. Is it really so safe to walk around at night, and are the people really so loving? Is that the case just with the people you get to know or everyone?
I'd love you to become a member of www.PinkPangea.com, a new community for women travelers to get real travel information geared specifically to women.
It would be great if you could post about your travels to Greece, providing anecdotes and photos from your time abroad. You might also want to provide tips for women travelers who also want to get out there.
I look forward to hearing more about your experiences abroad!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Rachel
