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.

Some thoughts on the beginning...

our first sight of the acropolis
Aside from my insanely eventful weekend in Aegina, my time so far in Athens has been a lot of what I thought it would be. Granted I didn't make too many expectations because I didn't want to expect too much or too little. But Athens has not disappointed me. I love this city. I love my roommates. I love everything I have done and experienced (except maybe the pitching myself into the Medittereaen). The food is delicious, the people are so interesting, the city is beautiful, and the action is exciting. There never seems to be a dull moment and the rich culture and history makes me so blessed to be able to experience. Really, how amazing is it to be walking to a club my third night in the city and when I round the corner, there illuminated against a black sky, the the Acropolis. You just don't get that in America!
