Week Two in GREECE!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are having a fabulous Spring quarter. I'm loving it here in Greece. Classes are awesome and the people great! I've seen some unbelievable places and had some great experiences. Next week the Easter holiday begins and after classes on Wednesday we're heading to Italy. For now I hope you enjoy these recent pictures! I will be back from Italy on April 15th and will update you as soon as possible!! Keep in touch, I miss you all!

Here is the group on the Ioaninnan island.

The mountains are covered in snow! No worries, the air is warm!

These were some columns inside one of the museums we visited.

The Dorm

The View from the dorm

Here is beautiful dorm! We have a small refrigerator and then the laundry is down stairs which is well equipped. The cafeteria is a twenty minute walk away, but I figure we should work for the food anyway :). I will take pictures of the campus later on.
