This morning we had class at the Byzantine Museum so that was cool because we were so close to home. After class, we came home and Angela came over. We just sat around until it was time for them to leave for the airport. Then me and Joanna wen to the dining hall and from there to the academic center. I got my ticket changed for May 15th, the same day as mom. I was very anxious to go home so I asked Niki if I could not go to class and she said yes. I got home and mom had just gotten there. She was me and we both started crying. But it was more of a good cry than a bad cry. She was so relieved to see me and I was so happy to see her. I just feel so secure and relaxed. She just looked at me and understood me. I guess that is what they mean when they say mother's instinct Patty came over and then Joanna came home and got ready to go to the village. Then Angela came and they all left to go to the bus station. Me and mom got ready and took a nice long walk Then we looked for a restaurant but could not find anything we liked so we got in a cab to head for Plaka. Anyway, we sat at the first one we saw. All of the food we had was horrible but it was so damn expensive. Mom was way too tired to walk home so we went crazy crossing streets to get a cab. When we got home she got all cozy and went to bed. It was a very rainy day today and my poor mommy got cold. I just of the phone with John and we had a nice tlak. I am going to try to see him tomorrow. I have 19 days left here in Greece and I am going to use them to relax and enjoy myself and the time I have with my mommy and sister. Everything is going to be ok.
