Greece


The week in Greece was absolutely amazing. I spent 2 days in Athens before heading to the islands of Mykonos and Santorini.

Here are some highlights:

-Seeing the Parthenon and Acropolis

-Eating greek salad for just about every meal (I even tried olives! --and I still hate them)
-Someone across the club sending me a bottle of champagne (because I'm such a stud?)
-The girls met a group of young Saudi Arabian guys at a beach club (with a bit of my help). Within an hour they had ordered us about 30 or so bottles of champagne, sprayed about 20 of them on us and eachother, then we all drank the remaining bottles. Then we all went out later that night and did it again. Some people have way too much money.
-The night reception guy at the hotel taking me and Rachel to the roof to get a view of Athens at night
-Laying on the beach(es) drinking beer
-The guy on the donkey coming into the beach club, pounding a beer (while still on the donkey), then riding off.
-Sleeping 5 hours in 3 days (yay Mykonos)
-Jumping in the waves at sunrise
-Driving up the windy cliffs upon arrival in Santorini
-Watching the sunset from Ia
-The red volcanic rock beach
It was also just so great to be with good friends.
