and break begins...

Soo... This week began with 3 midterms before spring break truly began. Actually having to study was not fun.. especially because its finally starting to get nice out. Buttt studied away and got through those THANKFULLY and feel alright about it. But it's now break so all is good. Nothing to worry about for 2 1/2 weeks. So wednesday night we all went out for one last worahh with the people who hadnt left for break yet. Its always an adventure going out to silver dollar. Feels like our comfort zone bar. So me chels, brit, and tina went down there with the 2 ponos'. These guys are great and always have a good time. Decided to do a goblet for the 1st time. two shots balanced on top of a glass of beer. Take the wiskey, vodka drops in, and chug. Just a "wonderful" experience. Haha. Tina and I then adventured over to sknipa.. where the rest of our friends were. We danced, listened to greek music and woundered home later that night.

Thursday was the Greek Independence Day where they had a parade. Rich, laura J, Jenna, and I went down to watch it. Of course it started late (I love greece :) ) and it made us all realize how much better our parades are.. haha. well not better but much more entertaining. The parade was a number of different groups of different military units marching. They had pretty authentic outfits which were cool to see but no loud music, floats, or candy :( afterwards everyone was packing and getting ready to go.

We left thessaloniki at 11pm for our train tide to athens. overnight+cramped=not fun. Eitherway we got there.. at 530am. Attempted to sleep in the train station for abit but got poked. That was annoying. So we just went to the airport... slept on and off there but did get chicken curry which always makes me happy. Finally got on our plane to rome. Arrived and went to the train station to go directly to Naploli. Had to take the slow train so didnt get there until around 10pm. It was one WONDERFUL day of traveling.

Friday brit, chels, becky, and I went all over Napoli. We saw many different Beautiful churches along with different historical sites. We had to do a little shopping as well, things here are pretty dang cheap!!! and the pizza is AMAZING!! so thats what we did for lunch. Our hostel owner, Giovanni, is awesome. We pretty much live in his house... there are 24 ppl that stay each night and last night he decided to cook us all dinner. It was really fun hanging out with everyone and having a "family" dinner. After din he took out his guitar and starting playing us songs and making us sing the chorus. It was a HOOT. we also sang hey jude (LOVE IT) and he had a man from spain play and a guy from japan. It was definatly an experience.

Soo today, sunday, got up and made our way to Pompeii. Its amazing to see the ruins and how their city truly was built. Its huge!! The amphitheater was really cool and seeing the casted people was awesome. It is kind of sad to see the positions these people laid in as the volcano erupted but the history is fascinating. I have been taking tooo many pictures but i have to remember everything.

Off to Capri tomorrow for an island and tanning day wootwoot :)
