Going to Class and Into Town

5/26/11
Location: Athens

I got up in the morning and got ready for the day. I ate breakfast and got ready for class. I had class for an hour and then had a break where I helped a friend with some homework. Then went to listen to a speaker who met us at the hotel and that session lasted about 2 hours. Once I got done with the class portion of my day I tried to find a grocery store in town but I couldn’t find one. Then I went back to the hotel and met up with a group of people to go into the main part of the city to do some souvenir shopping. I spent a few hours walking around with Libby and I was able to find a few t-shirts for myself and some other people. I like just being in the city and seeing a different side of Athens than where we are actually staying. Later on, we all sat down to eat some dinner. I ate some honey and sesame chicken and it was really good. It was raining on and off all day so our movement throughout the city was dependent on that. We traveled back to the hotel and got back around 11PM. I had a good time in the city with the people in our group and I felt like I got a lot of my shopping done. Some of the people from our group who stayed at the hotel thought I went into Athens by myself because of a rumor that had started and by the time I got back they were attempting to form a search party. That was an interesting situation to come back to but it's good to know that the other group members care about me.
