Patty came home yesterday and we took a really good nap. We woke up in time to meet the group that was doing to dinner because we had heard it was a really cool place and not a tavern. So we get there and it was not a really cool place, and it was a tavern. So we ate even though we were all miserable about it and we paid too much. We went to see if there was anything to do there and the place was totally dead. It was a small area called Milos and it had some cute places but no people. We walked back to the hotel, me Joanna and Patty down some really scary looking streets. When we got there, we tried planning what to do and then we found Larry, Melanie and Minnie. They were going to the Laladika to eat then to go out so we went with them. On the way there, Melanie went to stop at a kiosk and fell. As we were making fun of her, she fell again. It was so funny. We sat at place, Funk for coffee while they ate. The Laladika are really cool. It is a bunch of restaurants, cafes and clubs. And the clubs have the cutest names like Very Koko. And there were tons and tons of young people. We waited of them for a while and then we went to a club. It was really such a cool club. Mostly Greek music and only the really good American stuff. We danced like crazy. It was so much fun. Then Larry started talking to some German guys which was kind of weird. Then wanted to take pictures which us and stuff and they were not even hanging out with us. We left at about 4 in the morning and when we go to the hotel we were wondering why we left. I took a shower and got two hours of sleep. I am really upset that we had to leave Thessaloniki. It is really a great city and I don't think they gave us enough time to enjoy it. Part of me wants to get back on a bus and go there for the weekend. A lot of people actually left to go back to Athens. I am surprised  they are being so lenient about everything. I need to go for now.
