Tuesday morning we were asked to change rooms at Dioskouros since our whole group wanted to live together in the basement. Unforunately, Jacquelyn, Kylie, and I did NOT get a bedroom in the basement. Oh no, good ol' Dio gave us a bathroom with some beds in it. The room may have been pushing 10 square ft, no lightbulb, the windows were sealed by the fresh paint, bathroom tile and piping still existed, the cat peed on Jacquelyn's towel, and my bed was actually a cot. Oh, and I pulled down the curtain rod out of the drywall when I attempted to open the curtains. I think about everyone can imagine how ridiculous this situation was, but honestly, it is Greece, what can you do? We tried to laugh it off, knowing we only had a few nights left in Athens before our trip to Mykonos. Anyway, after the move, I went to the hospital to get my INR checked and then onto the CIG for a test review. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful and ended with a sweet, refreshing dinner of yogurt. Yum!

I spent most of Wednesday morning studying for the test, taking the test, and eating. It was a pretty chill day. We did go shopping for a bit and I bought myself some sweet Plaka pants! PS: Happy Birthday to my wonderful baby sister Meghan! I love you!
Thursday morning was another early start for class because we took a hydrofoil from Piraeus to the island of Aegina. Once there, we visited the Temple of Aphaea (local cult goddess) and another Classical Era sanctuary on the water. Aegina is well-known for their pistachios so of course I had to try some (they are winners, dad!) Later that afternoon, we returned to Athens, made dinner at Dio, packed for Mykonos, and headed to bed-preparing for another early morning ferry ride.
