it's winnnnnnnnddsday owl!!

forever pooh, i say

ok- 15 min till class...

check out nate's blog!!! tons of pics up from europe backpacking! : www.itsbacon.blogspot.com

yesterday, did no homework for the first time since i got here (excluding crete trip)....ooops.. but i needed a day off and i had an awesome time w/the Kala-zoo kids. free spaghetti dinner by james, cards, then english pub called the 'red lion'...looked like a coat of arms on the sign. went w/jen, james, and aaron, who's like half chinese, half jewish, half cuban, and half everything else.....and no i dont care if that doesnt work!!! ha! he's way cool and a real lil dude, but sharp kid. james and i- 2 guinnesses to satisfy the hunger, and humor and other lil things all around. i think aaron still has a chip on his shoulder about the nazis.
today was 1030am class at the Goulandris Museum for Aegean Prehistory and that was awesome. some good pics finally and i even talked w/the curator. he gave me some ideas linking arthistory/museology/archaeology with computer technology....verrrrrry interesting! very nice man too, that nikolas.
also, as i was leaving the apt this morning to rush off the the museum a man from the apt held the door for me and then started a conversation.. man- do not get into a convo w/a greek man unless u expect to talk forever. i couldnt really help it cuz he talked first and i felt bad not chatting, but i was late already. eh. he was realllly nice and he lives on the 1st floor and is a good english speaker.. he is a doctor, name's Yannis, and studied in Chicago for 2 years too- so when i told him i was from teh twin cities he asked if i thought it was cold here, half kidding and i told him- 'absolultely not!'...hehe.... it's really good to get to know the greeks, esp. when they live in the same building. they can be so helpful sometimes. :)
on the way to the center after the museum i took some pics finally of the city and some friends- jen and anthony. we can see the acropolis out our lounge/cafeteria windows...so yeah- got that shot for SURE! ha!
alright- off to ancient greek atheltics

Hi Chris,

It was a warm and windy Wednesday here too. It was in the lower 80s - can you believe it!? Tomorrow is supposed to be in upper 70s and maybe a shower or two.
Crazy weather. I'm looking forward to your pictures!
