Pictures from my three months of living in Athens Greece, side trips to Aegina and Santorini (also Cairo and Barcelona). Studied at City University downtown, lived in Illisia, embraced being a foreign local. Hellas for always.

Athens, how I will miss thee...

heading home...:'(
On the plane ride home I made a list of everything I will miss in Athen...

Kiosks...for those late night coke light cravings and battery necessities when your camera dies
Pita bakes...what more could you ask for in a snack food?
Souvlaki...Americans may try, but shall never succeed
Ruins...stupid not old country of the USA...
Palm trees...ok, so I'm moving to Florida after graduation
Weather...NO SNOW!
Greek men...need I say more? ;-)
The gauntlet...even if its overwhelming the food rocks
Shopping...Europe is so ahead of the US
Tavernas...yum yum yum and the prices are fantastic
Cafes...necesito caffeine anonymous
Freddicinos...the international love affair
European culture...nuff said.
Parliament guards...entertainment?
Illegal sales...never a dull moment!
Free desserts...best price there is
No tipping...simple!
Diversity...I don't like living in my "white" world
Tzatziki...do they have strained yogurt in America?
Free coffee at school...already made, its a beautiful thing...and that creamer!
Ham and cheese pies at Estas...I could eat them the rest of my life
MadTV...you get addicted
OPA!...thats all there is to it!

...and so much more...how can you really sum up 3 months so simply?...You just can't.
