On the plane on the way to Athens, one of the best views I've ever seen. There were mountains and clouds and the sky was orange and yellow and blue, it was great.Euroterm is done, I seriously can not believe it. It feels like it went by way to fast. This has been the best experience of my life and it's going to be something I look back on forever. The group I was with were some of the most important people in my life and I have learned and grown with them in so many ways. The last day before everyone left was my birthday, so it was happy and sad at the same time. I had a great birthday spending the day with John and Dana. Dana and I walked all around Paris looking at the Christmas decorations and the christmas village shops. It was really nice. My mom sent a package for my birthday with Hostess cupcakes and candles, and I handed them out to everyone at our last dinner in the Fiap. People put 21 candles on one hostess cupcake for me and no one knew that it was the special kind of candles that don't burn out, so there was this huge flame coming from one cupcake, with smoke blazing on top of it, and me trying to blow it out over and over, it was seriously amazing. We tried pouring water on it and finally someone put a cup on top of it. It was really funny and a nice way to end the last dinner haha.
I am in Athens now! I got in last night and stumbled on a hostel called Athens Backpackers, which turned out to be really cheap and in a nice location, and I also found out it was two buildings down from the hotel I am meeting Eugene at! It was really perfect. I am now in the Parthenon hotel, which is really close to the Acropolis and to the heart of the city. I walked around last night to all the little shops and saw some great street music. Now I am taking advantage of the free internet and just relaxing. Thats what this whole trip to Athens is for, just to kick back after Euroterm. Then I fly back to London to meet my Mom and Grandpa! I can't wait.
