Yeah, its been a while since I've said anything. Forgive me.
I dont even really remember everything thats been going on since the last time I've posted.
We've had one roommate from Scotland, and me him and chris talked about the European Union for over an hour. I know yall would have loved to have been a fly on the wall. So much college graduate wisdom comin from that conversation.
then we got another japanese roommate. Those kind of people are so nice. they are also the littlest people too. they like to laugh at anything you say and also nod and laugh whenever they talk to you too. meeting foreigners on this trip has been great; truly one of the highlights.
We went to ancient Corinth the other day. Pretty cool stuff. ride there was good. when we got on the train to go, there was this really old man barely over five foot with a cane and hunched over to the point where he could barely look up, and he just was taking this swift little steps just kinda pushin his way through people. it was really funny.
people in greece are actually really nice. the first or second night we were here me and chris split up on our way home, and when i asked a man who didnt know much english where this one place was, he actually walked me down a block and a half to point me in the right direction. and this was after midnight too.
oh....and i have all these videos that i have been sending to mom and dad that i've been taking while i have been here. i know my trip is almost over, but if anyone wants to be included in the official jessie matlock mailing list, just give me your email address if i dont have it, and youll get this totally free offer...right after you pay a 5 dollar registration fee.
today was Chris' birthday. 23! he's an old man. he didnt eat the whole day either until just a little while ago when we had his birthday meal. we both got country sausage w/ fries. he got a greek salad, and we both got some greek coffee which is actually pretty good.
umm...
yeah!
athens is great so far. in a few days we head to the islands to partay, i mean, relax. jk...they are supposed to be really beautiful though. those are really gonna be great.
ok, i've run out of things to say. mainly b/c i'm a man of few words.
