I'm back.........sorry it's been so long

Okay so here's a rundown........

Finished the course! HOORAY! Celebrated for a couple of nights in a row.......whew!

Some members of the course left for other countries and or home. sad to split up.

Four of us moved up the hill from our first apartments to a hotel - four girls in one hotel room the size of an American bathroom. Hilarious - our luggage stayed out on the balcony - we thought of it as a walk in closet. Seemed to work. Hotel owner decided we were fun and knew we were poor teachers - gave us an amazing deal - thank goodness! THANKS THEO! If anyone wants to come to Crete - Hotel Alexis was awesome!

We now moved to an apartment.......much better. two bedrooms......huge bathroom......living room. Feels much more like home. Our landlord once again helped us out by giving us a good rate. WHEW!

Done a little teaching at the school - so fun- but not enough to make a living. sad!

Going back to the states on Oct. 6 for a wedding of a dear friend. Think I'm going to stay in MN at least for a little while - save some money again - and possibly come back here at a later date.

This experience is/has been amazing.

Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Unfortunately money really does make the world go 'round.

So.....my adventure may be on a pause for a little while. But I've had a grand time!

Love to all....

Oh - my lack of internet connection makes it nearly impossible to post pictures right now. Trying to get to a friend's place that has internet to share pics with you all.

Is it possible to have your heart in two places? Minnesota and Crete? Maybe.......
