When in Rome .... Do as the Romans do!!!

Rome is historical. The buildings are big and made of marble. I think..... Yesterday we went to the Colosseum and the Roman forums. Last night we went out on the town .... EuroBash. It was some random party we found that was in the Ghetto of Rome (Great). It was fun and all, but we had to walk back to the hotel which took hours. I think I got back to the hotel around 4 AM. Today we got to Vatican City. The Sistine chapel and St. Peter's square. The Sistine chapel amazed me, I didn't realize that Michelangelo painted it all in 3D. I also didn't realize that God and Adam was only a small part of the ceiling. For all those Modern Family fans, we ran into Mitchell. He said, "Don't look at me, look up!". It was pretty funny.

Corfu is beautiful

We got to stay on a resort on the beaches of Corfu for a few days. It was so quaint. It was relaxing to not have to do any sight seeing. We went to two different beaches each day.  We went out one night and people went skinny dipping. One girl got stung by a jellyfish and had to go to the hospital. Old town of Corfu was kinda disappointing, but we had a weird Greek food which may or may not have been called Macaroni sandwich. The second day we went to a beach on the other side of the island and got a tour of some caves. I have included a picture of us on the boat.

Delphi: Know thyself and Nothing in excess

Delphi was a very cool Ancient Greek site that we got to visit the other day. This is where many cultures of the world met and worshiped Apollo. The famous oracles are known to have gave insight to many people. We learned that there is actually a natural methane fault line that many believe the oracles inhaled to make their predictions. I have included a cool picture of me in front of the ancient amphitheater.

Sun-burnt Already :(

Today we had to wake up at 6:00 AM to get off the ferry and took the bus to our hotel. Corfu is pretty awesome. I haven't gone to see the old town, but the area around our hotel is so nice. I wanted to go back to sleep, but that wasn't going to happen. So, I did the next best thing, got a six pack of mythos ( greek beer) and went down to the beach. The day seemed so long since we got to the beach around 9. I wore sunscreen but I still managed to get a really bad sunburn. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad. Tonight I think we are going to go bar hopping around here and check out the night life on this Greek island. 

One wonder of the world down!

Hello followers,

I am chilling on a ferry to the island of Corfu. Today we got to go to Delphi today. It was super cool, but we had to hike up a massive mountain. In Athens we had a great time trying out all the Greek food. I don't think I can eat another Gyro. The Parthenon was so spectacular, I can only imagine how it use to look during its time. Athens is pretty dirty and has a lot of graffiti, but the people are really nice. Fuck the exchange rate is all I have to say. Alright. I am going to go up to the pool on our ferry. I will try to blog soon about Corfu and Italy.

Love you all. I am going to include a picture of me on the Acropolis in front of the Parthenon.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

I am happily waiting in Chicago to catch my flight to Germany. I'm so excited. I just got myself a book to read and I have all the seasons of Mad Men to watch. See you in Athens!

Test video post

Look at the potential for videos

4 Days until I leave!

I guess the most important thing to do is make sure I am packed ..... Athens is calling me.
