Ramble

Hay I was going to upload some more photos onto picasa but I am having some troubles. Things are going well here for me. Getting to see and do more, learning the town better. Saw the first few rooms of the Byzantine museum before I kinda got kicked out (should be going back tomorrow to see the rest, hopefully). Tried Goody's fast food Greek food, pretty good. I wish I had time to look at the menu instead of seeing a few pictures and just picking one hopping it was good. It was a very tasty sandwich I enjoyed it just wasn’t sure what I was getting.

I took a few more photos of the AFS campus and a few more downtown so you can see some of the sites that I am seeing. I've been working on crocheting scarves and need to buy some more yarn. You can see two finished projects on Damian and Nancy, some of my librarian friends that I have been hanging out with. They took some of us to the Beer Academy, nice restaurant with lots of beer. It ended up being more of a German night making me think of Austria. I had an unfiltered dark German beer, and the food we had was a plate of sausages.
I usually go to the store to buy bananas; I can usually get 5-6 for about 1ε, pretty good especially compared to Zurich.
This coming weekend I will be heading to Athens with one of the AFS students for the long weekend. National holiday on Tuesday. I'm excited to be staying with a family and being able to see Athens.
Oh wait just was informed that there will be a general strike tomorrow so going to the museum will be postponed but going out for coffee and buying yarn in the evening is a go because they are private enterprises.

I have reduced the amount of mosquito bites by purchasing a thing to plug into the wall. The last few days there has been an influx of fly’s in the hall and in my room. They are everywhere and you can tell the plug in stuff is having an affect on them but not enough to kill or discourage them from coming in. Floors get really dirty here so lots of sweeping is necessary. Story time: I was having troubles with my shower and floor drain draining. This past friday they came and cleared it out, very happy for that. They on the other hand left all of the clogging parts all over my bathroom (found 4 piles of gross stuff), the floor had an extra layer of dirt/grime, the shower curtain is oh so dirty, the faucet and water controls were covered in stuff. Over all happy to have water flowing, unhappy about the mess I had to clean that I didn't realize how bad it was until I was getting naked to get into the shower. It's much better now, I cleaned.
