Halkidiki Beach =]]

What a great past couple of days I have had!  I still cannot believe I have been here only a week already; it feels like so much longer!!

This past week, I have been consumed in meetings and getting the classrooms ready for school to start.  School starts on Monday [tomorrow].  I'm so excited to meet all the kiddos and finally be back in the classroom!  Summer is too long of a time away!

On Friday evening, all of the fellows [there are six of us] went to Eva's apartment.  Eva is the US college Counselor for the high school students.  She is Ana's supervisor. Anywho, her apartment was absolutely beautiful!  It has a fabulous view of the Aegean Sea.  We arrived there after a tiring walk uphill just as the sun was setting.  Supper was absolutely amazing, and I can say that I am starting to love the food here.  Greeks have a neat way of eating.  It's like family style back in the States, however, instead of putting all the food onto your plate, you can just grab the food straight from platter and pop it right in your mouth!  We had our first gyros that night, and let me just tell you.... heaven!!! =]]  It was an absolutely beautiful, intimate night.  We all shared our stories and just had a wonderful time.

The next morning, we were off on our first trip to halkidiki!!  We had to get to the beach before the weather starts getting cold.  It only took about an hour and a half to get there.  We took the bus.  It was absolutely beautiful there.  We had a great two days of lying in the Grecian sun =]]
