We woke up at 7:30 this morning new time to get ready and did not end up  leaving the house until 9 thanks to no one being able to get a hold of Larry. We finally got on our way. We got to the little train that takes you up the mountain but the one leaving then was full and the next one was not until after 5. People wanted food so Taso stopped at a kiosk and bought them out of chocolate bars. He even took the box. Anyway. So we had to do everything by car. First, we went to a monastery that was a cave that had a natural fountain. It was interesting. THe whole building was practically in the rock that was the mountain. Then we went to another monastery where they made us put on skirts to go in. After that we went to the cave lakes and saw stalagmites. They were so gorgeous. There are a total of thirteen lakes but you can only see three. We ditched the tour group and were sneaking around taking pictures. Then we finally decided to go see the snow. We went all the way up to the ski station. There was actually a lot of snow and it was rather hot. Generally today was a gorgeous day. Matt really wanted to ski but we just sat for a while and had a baby snow ball fight. By that time everyone was starving so we went to eat. We sat at a restaurant that literally only had three things to eat. I ate french fries. By that time it was fairly late so we decided to head home. Lucky for us, Larry had not filled up his gas tank and the car stopped on the express way. We called Matt and they went and got us gas and drove back to fill us up. When we got moving again, I fell asleep but supposedly they drove by and accident where there was a dead guy laying on the ground. We stopped by the house so I can get my stuff and then Larry drove us to the train. Alex came by until George came to get her. Oh the train was filled with a bunch of obnoxious guys because there was a soccer game that had just finished. Anyway. Joanna had gone by her cousins house so I  cleaned and am going to bed. This is going to be a hard week and I am not allowing fun until my work is done. Weird thing today. Babas called me off her cellphone to tell me she could not talk. Do you get it? Oh and we had a history class to go to at Niki's house and Joanna said she was going to go and she ended up not going and I was really counting on it in a way. What do I say now? We'll see.
