Replace Ronald McDonald with IT And They'll Never Want To Eat There Again

For the most part, today was another typical day. From what I can tell, tomorrow may be the last of them since we are leaving Naxos Thursday morning. We'll apparently be spending a good portion of Thursday afternoon/evening at Piraeus and then will be spending the next few days on the island of Siphnos. I'm not sure how those places will compare but it should be interesting enough. I still find it amusing that Dr. Shea managed to compare the port of Piraeus to that of Mos Eisley...

Most of today pretty much revolved around my two classes, walking around the port, going for a very brief swim, putting off eating, doing a healthy amount of reading, and grabbing dinner with the usual group. I am proud to say that my reading on The World According to Garp is progressing well and I managed to get about 80 pages read today, bringing me to around page 157. With its length and everything, I'm surprised as to how easy of a read it's been. I'll probably get a little more out there before I go to bed tonight.

Sorry the last few entries have been a little dull. It's definitely been a slow part of the trip though a nice chance to recharge. Hopefully things will pick up soon and I'll have more interesting things to report. I hear we're going to a museum after classes though I'm not entirely sure what'll be happening. Maybe I'll just find a way to embellish things more. Whatever works, I suppose...

  1. It's just been fun reading about your being in Greece. I would imagine many of us will not get the opportunity to have that experience, so I for one am living vicariously through you during this trip, lol. I can't say I've ever had a desire to go there, but I may have to reconsider. So just keep writing the way you have been. :-)
