Monday was Nessa and Albion's 21st birthdays! Don't worry, we celebrated properly in Delphi. That morning we took a public coach bus to the city. A few of us were asked to ride a separate bus to even out the number of people in the buses; and I was lucky enough to ride "the party bus". Oh yes, smiley face and heart-shaped air fresheners, lip stickers on the mirrors, it was great. The best part? We left a yia-yia at the rest stop during our quick 15 minute break. Priceless. So we got settled in at the hotel and went to a sanctuary for class that afternoon. That night the group went to dinner and then out to a dance club called "downtown club". Let's just say it was SO FUN. More details in person if you would like :)
Tuesday was rough. I cannot say I liked that day, but the site was A-mazing! The temple was cool, the fog settling in from the valley was spectacular, and the view. My goodness, the view! Pictures don't do Delphi justice. Anyway, that evening we went to dinner as a group, again. I may or may not have met this guy the night before and lucky me, he was our waiter at this restaurant. Quite funny but more-so awkward. Anyway, the rest of the night was pretty uneventful.

The next day was Jake Stowe's birthday. So many birthdays!! This was also the first rainy day of our trip (pretty lucky) and we spent it in a museum. It was actually a pretty interesting museum, and it was small-these are the best. After class ended, a bunch of us went back on to the site at Delphi to take pictures and walk around. We returned to our hotel, relaxed, watched some random TV episodes online, and got ready for dinner. Sam, Geoff, Nessa, Eileen, Jacquelyn, Kylie, and I went to see some incredibly adorable puppies in a field, and then walked to a small taverna for dinner. Guess what?! That guy from the other night that I met? Yea, he works there too, and was also our waiter (this guy loves to work). It was a decent dinner, but then the guy asked me to wait behind so we could chat. Okay, a little awkward. Let's just say long story short, this guy actually professed his love for me and talked about us going back to Athens and the States together. We only talked for maybe an hour total, at the most, since I met him. I guess I am a heartbreaker ;) I told him I didn't think it would work out, simply because I did not want it to. He was not a fan of that decision and eventually persuaded me to do the cowardly thing and give him my number so I could sprint back to my hotel. Well he called about 8 times that night (all unanswered I assure you) and texted me 8 times as well and finally when I told him to go away, he sent me one final goodbye text that called me a liar.

Thursday morning I was itching to leave this small town and get back to Athens (where the population is about 50 times larger than Delphi). We took our public coach bus back to the city where we arrived in the evening, grabbed some dinner, skyped family and friends, and headed to bed. Delphi was the best city for about the first one hour of the trip. Then it turned into 3 days of hell.
