Happy Pi Day!

It's been a long time since my last update, mostly because school has finally started to pick up, and also I'm a little lazy about updating. I think I'm going to skip the pictures of Amsterdam, Bulgaria, and Romania because the weather was pretty bleak and the pictures aren't very exciting, but I will put up some of Greece, since it was really nice.

So, tomorrow I leave for Barcelona for spring break with my friend Jon. Basically, our plan is to stay the weekend in Barcelona and then make our way down the coast and see as much of Spain as we can. Also, the weather is supposed to be about 70 degrees and sunny, so a lot of beaching is to be expected also. My battery charger recently fell apart, so hopefully I have enough power left in it to last me through the trip.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Greece:

This is an amphiteatre at the Acropolis
And this is the Acropolis, as seen from the temple of Zeus.
This is the temple of Hephaestos. This shot in particular took me forever to get.
We went to a coastal city called Napflion, which was absolutely incredible. That hill has a big Mycenean castle on it which is famous for having to climb 999 steps to get up to. This next picture is a view from the top
The water was so blue, I wish it was a little warmer when we were there so we could have gone swimming. Hopefully the water in Barcelona will be as picturesque.

This is a picture of the bay which the city surrounds. On the other side of the peninsula there is a castle in the middle of the water. We didn't get to go to it, but it was pretty cool.
This is me on a ferry to Crete. Crete was pretty lame because there are no tourists in the winter (even though the weather is really nice), and so there is nothing to do. We went to a small restaurant on the island while we were waiting to leave, and this guy was amazed that we were from America so he bought us a lot of food and drinks.

So, Greece was probably my favorite country (it also had the cleanest metro system) and Paris was my favorite city. I want to go back to Greece someday, but that probably won't happen this semester. I still have to go to Croatia and Austria before I leave for the US, which is in about 7 weeks. Everytime I think about leaving, I realize how lucky and happy I am to be here. Anyway, the fun has got to stop sometime I suppose. I'll make another post when I get back from Barcelona.
