Munich and Greece!

Hello there, it has been a few days since i have last updated!!! Buts thats because i was away on "holiday" as they like to call it in europa. But first, i would like to just share with you what a typical outfit on a rainy day might look like.... Just kidding. but i really did wear that out. it was sooo funny. anyways, back to the trips!\
i headed to munich last tuesday by train and i stayed in a hostel (it was a 40 person dorm. i will never do that again, i got no sleep with all the noise, but it was cheap!) on tuesday the weather was crappy and rainy ( go figure) and i walked around and found a really neat art museum and spent some time there. after that i came back to the hostel and met a guy from alabama, he was nice and we had dinner together. on wedsnedayi walked around downtown munich (Marinzplatz- where the famous coo-coo clock is and then i took a free bike tour around the city! it was great! and i met alot of really cool travelers, and then we went to the hofbrauhaus (a big bier garten) and enjoyed the umpa-music and german beer! :)
thursday i caught a flight to athens in the afternoon. i met up with a guy that had been studying here in lueneburg with me, brooks and we had a great time. friday we saw the acropolis (full of cranes and scaffolding, they have been working on it since 1970s... haha) but it was really neat to see the ruins and such. then we headed to the agora where we got yelled at for posing with the statues.... haha it was crazy. next we went to the highest point in athens to see the typical white greek church. it was really pretty ( i have a bit more pictures but i will show you them later) we headed to the national gardens where they had a cool "zoo" filled with pigeons, and goats and rabbits and peacocks. haha it was so funny.... we had amazing greek food the whole time we were there ( i ate feta cheese every day, its my new addiction, i love it) . anyways on saturday morning we just BARELY made the ferry over to Mykonos island. it was about a five hour trip and when we got there and on most of the ride it was raining. and it wouldnt be a big deal, one day of rain, but it hasnt rained in athens or that area for 6 months, and i have had plenty of rainy days in germany. haha so yah we were like stuck in our cabin (or more like a cabinet bc it was soo tiny! doesnt he look happy?? haha) we stayed at this camp ground thing, and we could have slept in a tent but thankfully we didnt. it was really nice and right on the beach with a restuarant, bar, ity bity pool, and yah so day two and three were gorgous. on the second day there we rented a mo-peds (because thats the cool thing to do in greece!) and rode around the island and then had a yummy sea food dinner into town. on monday evening we headed back to athens for one more night and then left early tuesday. which was perfect beacause the european championship was held in athens and it was getting crazy!!!

yesterday one of the girls i met in munich was visiting hamburg and had seen all the sights so she came to luneburg and i showed her around a real small german town (she had only been to big cities, and they all start to look alike after a while) so yah we had fun and ate sushi (which i LOVE) with my flatmates. she was really cool

today i said some good byes to my language partner and some other friends at the uni. it was sad but thankfully a great day for weather.

tomorrow i leave for a camping trip with my flatmate katrin (julia left for norway today!) we are really excited except the weather has predicted rain (GO FIGURE!) so hopefully it will miss us. we will canoe and hike and bbq and all sorts of fun stuff. i am very excited.


the new girl also came and is living in my old room. that is wierd. but yah hopefully she will enjoy herself.


i am getting excited and ready to come home. :) cant wait to hear all about your life!! :)





ciao!
