I'm in love with Greece!

I've almost been here a whole week!
On Tuesday we start classes.  I'm only taking Tuesday/Thursday classes to leave a lot of time for traveling! 
We had Orientation a few days ago and it was really nice.  Everyone of the faculty is very, very nice and laid back.  They really stress having fun, even more than studying!

On Friday, we went on a field trip to Vergina.  We got to see Philip the 2nds tomb.  He was Alexander the Greats father who was murdered in 336 B.C.  It was very interesting!  Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures though.  After that we walked around the village which is a lot smaller.  It's way different than Thessaloniki.  We sampled some delicious grapes for someones vines. haha


After Vergina, we took a bus tour of Thessaloniki.  We stopped at the St. Demetrius church, it was beautiful! 

 
This is my favorite Greek lady!
