Athens. ATHENS!!!!!
There's this place called plaka. Its one of the oldest places in Athens. And.. I'm in love. The cobble stone walkways, the buildings on either side of me with unique windows, the food that gets me full off 5 euro when in reality is worth so much more!! I like. It's relaxing and there are tourists everywhere. It makes me laugh. I rarely hear the English language. Its like people are here from France, Spain, or even other parts of Greece.
You know the acropolis and all those old rocks you hear about? Ya. I visited those. It's pretty sweet considering these rocks have been around for a while..like 500BC. It's kind of a trip. Insert giddy art history major happy face.. Now. I saw one of the many statues of Aphrodite. She's my gave greek god. Which is strange cause she's the goddess of love.. And is associated with the color, pink (in north American adaptations of this Greek goddess). Both things I do not particularly enjoy. Har har har.
Like I've said before.. It's hot. Like really hot. So hot that I end up chillin in my hostel for a period of time to avoid the heat. My shoulders are starting to peel. Im less pretty with this happening. Rage. And wearing pants is no bueno. I attempted to wear leggings this morning for our trip to the ancient agora and such. Ya. Big mistake. Leggings and an oversized tee is classic marzperez but when I'm here.. Oh man. It's just not happening.
Last night we had to share a room with a person. You know, typical hostel style. I got scared. It was a boy. Who I'm sure is very nice but dude. When you arrive at midnight when I'm about to fall asleep.. Ya. Youre gonna freak the crap out of me. I'm just chilin in my bed and bam! Door is open. Hahahaha I was like ummm hi?! Cause really what can yo do. I also chatted up some people in the lobby. Ugh. I never realized how socially inept I am. Hahaha!! I forget what it's like to have a conversation with a person without me asking what size they need or if they need help with anything. Hmm.. Clear indication that I work far too much.
In any case, goodbye Greece. Thanks for all the calamari, tzaziki, and spinach pie I could consume in three days. Now, itslia.. Here we gooooo!
