Greece

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Greece. An update on me is below the pictures and videos. Enjoy!

This is Prevali, one of my favorite places in Greece.
I can't believe plants can grow like this.
No rain makes for very interesting plants.


I wouldn't feel right about leaving Greece if I didn't take this picture.
And another one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

This is my 1st sighting of Greece from the plane. 

Where we stayed...

Hi, ok so I'm in France now staying with my brother. My brother was studying for the 1st part of the year and now he is doing an internship. I am staying at the (translated) Hall of Young Workers, it is like a dorm. So its nice to be around lots of young people and be able to walk to things near by. The only time I have internet is when I am at the library so mostly between 2 & 6 pm my time (6 hours ahead, so 8 am to 12 pm for you U.S.)

Now to catch up on blogging. Greece, Austria & then France...Greece 1st.

I would also like to point out my special super-sun-block-applying powers, resulting in me never getting sunburnt while in Greece. I have a wonderful non-peeling tan. 

aggg, I have 30 minutes left before the library closes and I am determined to get one blog up!
(I didn't manage to do it, my 200 pictures decided to not load, even after I sat outside of the library after closing, still using the internet.)

ok so some videos...



This was really cool. We took a day trip to Prevali, we followed a river until we couldn't anymore.
We climbed over rocks, jumped off rocks, swam between rocks and on and on.

We also saw wild goats in Prevali.

We passed this exclusive resort where you have to own stock in the hotel to stay there.
We just laughed at their water workout on our way to Ammoudi Bay. I'm not 100% sure
I spelled that right but it was really cool there. I don't have any pictures because it
was so hot I thought the camera would melt to my fingers if I pulled it out.
Beatrice's mom does have some pictures of us jumping off a "cliff" but when
we saw the pictures later I was like "Oh man, we were only like 3 feet above the water."
I'll try and get my hands on those pics.

The whole reason for going to Greece....for me.


And now for a facebook album...the library has closed but I am still sitting outside
using their internet so we'll see how long this lasts...
(didn't work, I had to finish the next day)

Here's the facebook album of pictures. You don't have to be a member to view them.
Keep in mind that I took over 1,000 and now there are only 200, so this is the best of the best in my opinion. 
If there is enough demand I will make a smaller purely highlights album.

There are a lot more details about the trip written in the comments under the pictures so I hope you enjoy!
