I'm sitting in the Athens airport, going to head home soon. The entire flight is full of teenagers in big groups, like young ambassador type programs.
Yesterday, I climbed the Philopappos hill in Athens, and then I took a bunch of naps and walks. I got really hungry and had corn I bought from a street vendor. For dinner, Yoni, a guy on the trip who also had an extra day here, brought me to a restaurant he really liked. We split a Greek salad and two appetizers and it was delicious. I got to see my professors one more time, and Yaron, our resident "Silver Fox And Breaker of the Hearts of Straight Women" (a title awarded by Sammi), held my hand and told me what a great writer I was and how much he enjoyed my journal entries for school and I blushed. I am going to really miss a few people on this trip, and he is certainly one of them.
After dinner and some more walking, I went to my room to wait for Josh to get back to share the sketchy cigarillos that Yoni had bought. Josh never materialized and I fell asleep, so Yoni woke me up. Our plan to access the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel was foiled, so we didn't get to have our great view of the Acropolis. All the same, a good way to spend the evening.
Some other girls from the trip were also around and tried to invite themselves to our dinner but Yoni and I just looked at them and they got tired of being awkward and found their own table, far away.
Only 13 more hours until Atlanta and free water and my boyfriend and my parents and my friends and my guinea pigs :) And for now, I am going to start my Bill Bryson book; I have been saving it since I bought it in Amsterdam.
Note: we just got an announcement that the plane is going to be 15 minutes late. What the hell, Delta?
