Greece

I just got back from Greece earlier this morning. Clear waters, blue skies, white houses, it was amazing. Can't upload any pictures right now since I can't get online in my room. computer is running out of battery anyway. really need that plug converter!

so i'm at an internet cafe right now and this german keyboard is giving me a hard time about captializing things...

anyhow, i was in greece for 5 days and 4 nights. day 1. jingwen and i got to greece at around 9pm at night. we took the metro into the city. it was really new, clean, and nice. we think they upgraded things because of the 2004 olympics. we got to the hotel and met up with xiumin. the 3 of us went for a walk that night since we were going to be leaving early the next morning for mykonos. we walked around the city and up the hill to acropolis. unfortunately, it's not open at night. but we found a really nice piece of rock that had a great view of the city. we also came across an old theatre where people were rehearsing for a show. we sat backstage and listened to the music.

day 2. we took a ferry to mykonos. the ferry left at 7am and took 5 hours. mykonos is so beautiful. for historical reasons, all the houses look alike with whitewash outside and blue doors and windows. they are so pretty. the hotel we stayed in was amazying too. we got our own fully stocked kitchen, patio, couch, tv. it was great. we went down to the beach and played around. then we walked around the town and took pictures of windmills, pelicans, and the sea.
