since we last met....
-we attempted to tour the royal palace, but failed because it was closed until Friday
-took a tapas tour that was kinda lame
-made friends with our high school roommates Jeremy and mark
-built a fort in our hostel dorm room
-visited the Museo del Prado (saw some works by Raphael and Goya and others, mostly naked religious paintings )
-ate paella (well Katie Sam and Clare did, i did not enjoy it haha)
Some of the highlights of Spain were definitely the food and people we met. We had a great time, especially at the Museo de Jarmon (Museum of Ham) haha....Katie especiallllllly loved it....
FINALLLLY we are in Greece after a flight to Athens, a metro ride to Piraeus Port, and a 12 hour (including waiting) boat ride to Santorini....
Our boat ride was long, and interesting we all slept on park benches on the outside deck (it was covered) and ate some DELICIOUS Gyros....thankfully we were met at the Port by John, the owner of the hostel we are at in Santorini. He reminds me of the dad "Gus" in my Big Fat Greek Wedding.
We headed straight to the beach, and back to the pool at our place. We have our own room with a kitchen and lots of room....more on the hostels later.
Did you know that Santorini has a Volcano in the middle of its port, and that the bay was created by a crater? Tomorrow we will explore the island more...
I will try and work on the pictures too! For now here is one I snagged from Google :)
