Day Twenty Six: Saturday
Woke up earlier than planned Saturday morning and after showering, Matt comes knocking at the door that we have to leave ASAP because there are possible strikes at the airport. I was freaking out because I wasn’t ready. I cannot stand being the last one ready, but somehow I always am. Add the fact that […]

Day Twenty Five: Friday
We woke up on Friday and it was the day Kelly and Chris were leaving. Susan designated Friday a free day to whatever we wanted as long as we made it to the Acropolis museum sometime that day. Matt was a trooper and was willing to give finding the Harley store another shot. This time, […]

Day Twenty Four: Thursday
On Thursday we woke up and it was our day to visit the Acropolis. Athens gave me a better impression in the morning. Plaka seemed like a nice area, but we didn’t really explore it much. The Acropolis was PACKED. It was miserable. I made the mistake of wearing a t-shirt instead of a tank […]

Day Twenty Three: Wednesday
Sometimes things never go as planned. Wednesday was one of these days. We were all prepared to wake up around noon and wander around Parikia having a free day to pack and shop and say our goodbyes to our new friends and Greek family. Not so much. I just got out of the shower and […]

Day Twenty Two: Tuesday
Byzantine Trail! Finally! I thought.. I thought we were hiking the trail. For fun. Not so much. We had cameras. And Claire. Claire is a translator who lives on Paros but is from NY and LA. She’s got a personality. I wanted to hike the trail. Get exhausted, sweaty and sunburned. I wanted my legs […]

Day Twenty One: Monday
Today I opted to wake up early and go with Kellie (Lucia and Michael) to the Butterfly Valley Preserve. They weren’t really butterflies, but moths. It was beautiful. There isn’t much of a thick foresty looking area close to Parikia so it was great to see it. The moths weren’t really flying around so we […]

Day Twenty: Sunday
I woke up around 7am on Sunday to go on my long run. Josh wrote down a 50 minute run. I did it! It was really windy. It was rough. I guess the long runs are supposed to be rough. I ended up getting back to the complex around 8:30am. We didn’t have anything to […]

Day Nineteen: Saturday
There wasn’t much to today. We were finally able to go snorkeling. It was a long day too. We’re all basically sunburned and worn out. We went to a couple different locations to snorkel and hang out. We snorkeled from about 10am to 5pm then we all came home to crash. I didn’t go out […]

Day Eighteen: Friday
Friday was a long day. I woke up early and went running. Cristin decided to come with me. It’s nice to have somebody to run with some runs. Other times you just want to be alone. I’m glad she was with me because it helped me push myself. I also took a half filled water […]

Day Seventeen: Thursday
For some reason, I volunteered for the early group on Thursday. We got up early to meet Christina (who is basically a historian of Parikia and Paros) to shoot a bunch of cultural heritage around the island. Our first stop was the Church of 100 Doors. I’m glad we got it in the morning because […]
