Well, last night did not finish off right here. As soon as I got into bed, Angela came home. We started our usual talking and must not have gone to sleep till 5am. She wants to go out for coffee so we can talk about things, Nick in particular. I am really glad she is being so open about her personal life. She also told me how her and Anna smoke because they could not keep it hidden for so long. She showed me a picture of Lee, Anna's guy from the summer and he is just plan old hot!

Right now I am sitting by the fireplace watching music videos. We got here from Athens at about 2. I really did not feel much because I slept more of the way. I met John this morning. He is very nice and funny. He looks just like Mattie. The whole car ride he let me keep his leather jacket on my legs. It was very pretty driving here. There are oranges growing everyone, that is the fruit right now. Another strange thing was while we were on the ferry, we did not get out of the car. The best thing though was as we were approaching the village, I could smell the fireplaces. The weather here is gorgeous. I was walking outside without a jacket. Inside is a different story. I got out of the shower and smoke was coming out of my mouth. I don't think my legs are getting shaved for months. Aunt Adi was waiting for us. She is missing a front tooth because it broke with she was eating. We went to see Grandma and it broke my heart. She did not look good at all. I am hoping it is just because she has been sick. She told me to forget school and move to the village I saw a picture of Jim's babies and they are adorable.  Here is something funny I heard today, people in Greece think that computers may have problems with leap year this year so they are going to skip it. Do they really think you can just skip a day. What, is February of next year going to have 30 days? I also made two big accomplishments worth noting 1) Yesterday the taxi dropped me off two blocks away from Vicky's house and I knew where I was but did not know which direction to go in but I asked and found it. 2) Today I had a thought in Greek!
