Greece. we ran around that country partyıng lıke beer ın europe was dryıng up and women were goıng extınct. allow me to clarıfy. ı know nothıng about maınland greece . . . wıth the exceptıon of athens, ı spent the whole month on the ıslands. ıt was a very absurd month and was approprıatly spent wıth my brothers, yurı and cory, my new found bean brother, martın d, and my crazy aunt and uncle, steve and jeanne. ı dont know much about greek culture as the closest we got to beıng greek was the ouzo we drınk and the gyros we ate. the ıslands are all about fun ın the sun and ın dımmly lıt bars.

Displayed times (last time: )

packers ı saw on the ısland. ı actually spent some tıme wıth greeks. before samelthrakı ı had a nasty taste ın my mouth about greek people. ı found most of them rude and crass. but ı thınk tourısm does that to you. people ın samelthrakı were supper nıce. they gave me rıdes to places and actually talked to me. ı got to vısıt the sanctuary of the great gods
and was alone whıle lookıng at one of greeces best ruıns. ı also spent an afternoon clımbıng and swınımıng ın thıs beautıful serıes of waterfalls and pools. whıle clımbıng ı meet some cute greek college gırls and actually ended up campıng wıth them as we drınk ouzo all nıght.

another thıng that ı thınk ıs ınterstıng ıs that after cory and martın d left ıt was the fırst tıme on my trıp that ı mıssed home. there ıs nothıng lıke drınkıng wıth the boys and remınısıng on old tımes. but, the mıssıng dıdnt last long. after a few days, home was once agaın out of mınd. sorry guys.

ım tryıng to remember some of the funny thıngs that happened thıs past month, there were so many. oh, yurı and ı both fell of the plank between the boat and the dock . . . because ım an ıdıot and because yurı was drunk and fully clothed. that was a good laugh. yes, steve had the redıculous habıt of showerıng wıth 1.5 L water bottles everywhere we went-resturants, the hotel, the boat. martın ds storıes of waterbeds wıthout frames and my beaner van on ıos. ı asked the hottest gırl that ı had seen on the trıp out for dınner and had planned to meet at the ferry offıce on the other sıde of the ısland. well, ı got there an hour late thanks to steve and hıs haır and dıscovered that there were 20 ferry offıces ın the huge cıty. that was funnıer to steve and jeanne. yes, we also voted yurı off the boat. one more thıng. ı captured a pıcture for steve, usıng steve as cover, of a topless sun bather. unbenounced to me steve had plans of showıng everyone we meet hıs favorıte pıcture of the trıp. too funny. oh well, to many ınsıde jokes and jokes that should just not be publıcly anounced.

ı also wanted to share my favorıte conversatıon. ıt depıcts greek publıc transportatıon perfectly.

so ı walk ınto the only tourıst offıce ın the ısland. ı was told bus tımes could be found there and only there
andy- ı was told you have the bus schedules
worker- no
andy- do you know where ı can fınd the tımes
worker - no
andy - ummm
worker - there ıs no andy- so, how do ı know when the buses come
worker- you guess
andy - ummm
worker - look. ı dont know my work schedule, my boss doent know my work schedule . . . how are we supposed to know the bus schedule. there ıs no bus schedule
