These are a few of my favorite things..........

(insert song from the Sound of Music here)

This song was in my head last weekend........so I figured I would turn it into a post. Last weekend....gosh it seems like so long ago. Friday night the 8 of us headed to the Harbor to have some cocktails and enjoy Greek life........well the Greeks must never sleep - kind of like Vegas or NYC because we didn't get home until 5 in the morning......and most Greeks were still up partying! Needless to say - Saturday we didn't get up until almost noon! I can't even remember the last time I slept that late - I would imagine college!!!!!!

So, Saturday was a day at the beach outside of our "apartment". Rough life right?! Saturday night though the girls went to grab a bite to eat at a little Greek restaurant near our place and the waiters taught is how to do the ZORBA.....a traditional Greek dance. SO FUN! well the parts we could master were fun........I think the other people at the restaurant had fun watching us......a couple of them joined in the fun.

Sunday we decided to take a bus to Souja (souix -ya)......this beach was INCREDIBLE. Pictures are following this post....so watch for them. It's this little hippie town in the middle of the mountains with a pebble beach and the bluest water I have ever seen.........not to mention clear. The sea looks like drinking water .....it's that CLEAR!

Back to reality on Monday - if you can call living in Greece "reality" but I taught 3 days this week. It gets a little stressful in that we have school in the morning learning English grammar, how to teach certain lessons, etc. and then in the afternoon plan lessons and at night teach. It's a little nerve-racking but I love it so far.

I do want to write home though to all of my English teachers/professors and ask "why did I never learn English grammar?" I've been her a week and half and already know more than the many years of schooling I had in the states. Does anyone know what a gerund is? How about a present perfect continous verb? Our class just laughs because no one knows it...........and the Greeks do! hahha! But we're all learning and can now have an answer as to why a sentence is structed a certain way versus just saying "because!"

Okay pictures to come soon!

Love to all!
