The beach......in OCTOBER?!

Did I mention I love this place. It has been in the 80's- 90's the since August. We've had a couple of days....like 3....that were cloudy. It has rained twice since I got here in on August 9. As I'm preparing to go home (can't wait to see everyone) I'm a little concerned about the cold that I'm approaching - I'm hoping for a warm welcome from friends and family to make it all better.

For now however, I'm hitting the beach today! Schools are out today because of an election.....so to the beach I go....on OCTOBER 2!


I'm hoping to post new and improved pictures tonight! I know you are all anxiously awaiting! haha!

Love to all,
Katie

ROAD TRIP...

So earlier this week my roommates and I rented a car and drove across the top of the island of Crete. soooo sooo sooo FUN! We drove to this little village town named Agios Nicholaus. It was absolutely amazing! The sea was clear and such a beautiful shade of blue and the whole town is surrounded by mountains. There are a ton of English people there so English was widely spoken which was nice to hear for change. Although I have to say that we're all getting pretty good at Greek!

We just stayed there for the night but it was nice to see other parts of the island - each city and village has its own charm. We found a really fun bar when we were there - surprise surprise- and they played a lot of American music that we danced to - the pictures are great. I promise when I get a better internet connection I will post pictures of all our adventures.


I leave for Rome in a couple of days to start the journey back to Minnesota for dear friend's wedding. I can't wait to celebrate with Leah and Christopher!


Okay there you have it.....short post but my time is running out at the internet cafe.

Love to all
Katie
