Hi Everyone,
I made it home last night safe and sound! I'm running around doing errands today and hopefully soon I'll have a chance to write a longer blog about my summer and put up new pictures. Sorry for the delay in writing more of an update but things have just been nuts! Thanks everyone for everything this summer. It was an unforgettable experience!

the summer is coming to a close...
Hello All,
The summer is coming to a close, that reality hit me last night as I was packing. I realized it was my last "night" of the summer since I stay in Paris tonight and then travel home, and when I get home life starts again since I start classes in 6 days. Its so sureal to me that I actually got to experience everything I did this summer and really did three months just pass?? It is real, I know that but the reality hasn't fully set in. It was really amazing, what I got to experience and I'm so thankful for every moment. I leave Athens in 7 hours and then I sleep in Paris tonight and then I arrive home after stopping in Atlanta, at about 10pm on a Delta/Air France flight (if anyone wants to come see me :)). Alright, thats it, I'll write more about my summer experience as soon as I get a chance. Thanks!

Sunburn
Hello,
Today I went to the Greek Island of Agristi, it was beautiful. Not exactally what I expected of a greek island but it was beautiful, the water was turquoise and blue and it was perfectly clear and sunny. Although with sun like that comes SUNBURN. You know when you put on sunscreen but always miss a spot...yeah...now I'm in pain. Lovely, Greece has literaly left its mark on me. I'll try and get some pictures up but my battery isn't going to last. I'll be home in 3 days!!! See you soon...if you live in MN

Greece
I've made it to Greece! The train journey was much shorter and better, I had a bed this time! Last night I went to Hard Rock Cafe and then took in a movie at an outdoor rooftop theatre, it was unforgetable, I could see the Acropolis and wow, I'm in Greece! Today I'm off to see the sights...I just found out there is Wireless Internet here so I'll try and get on later and write more. Thanks everyone!

off to greece
Hello All,
I've spent the last 4 days in Bulgaria and the last two visiting monestaries and enjoying the mountains. It's been great. Tonight at 10:10pm in about 5 hours my train departs for Greece. It will take anywhere from 13 hours to 17 hours to get there depending on which train I end up on to Athens. I'm better prepared I feel for this journey because its shorter and I'm in a sleeper car tonight. I also consolidated my things well so I feel like I have less. I think thats about all I have to share. I'll give you more details on my travels as I have time. I believe I will have interent access at my hotel in greece but who really knows till I arrive. I learned you cannot trust the lonely planet book...fun times

Bulgaria
Hello Everyone,
I'm writing from an internet cafe in Sofia, Bulgaria. When I got to Bucharest, Romania yesterday morning I decided I was to tired to go all the way to the black sea so I decided to come to Sofia, on my way to Athens. I'll be here till 10pm on Wednesday night and then I'll take the overnight train to Thessaloniki and onto Athens by 11am on Thursday. Then I'm in Athens for 4 nights and I fly to Paris for one night and then HOME! I'm honestly really ready to be home, but I know this trip can be an amazing chance to process and debrief everything that has happened this summer if I let it be that. It'll be good. And amazingly, I met this group of American's in a souviner shop today and they agreed to let me go to Rila Monestry with them on Wednesday in their bus! I'm excited because I really wanted to see it but its hard to get there by public transit. So I think thats about all. I'm off to eat at KFC and then to watch a movie. Thanks again everyone for everything this summer!
