Quick Update

Hello everyone,
I am sorry I have not been writing on here as much as I had planned. I have been keeping very busy though!
Right now, I am in an internet cafe in Santorini and there are two little boys sitting on either side of me playing video games. The kids seem to come here very often and play. They talk very loudly across me at each other in Greek. It's a pretty cool experience. Yesterday, I went for a huge walk with a girl in my group named Tess. We spent two hours walking to the beach and then swam for an hour or two, and then walked back to the hotel. Then I rode as a passenger on a quad to the edge of town, which was amazing. I swam in the hotel pool until after ten in the evening as well. This morning, we headed out early to go on a tour around the island by bus. We were loaded onto a boat and were brought to a volcano site, where we hiked a great distance. We then went for a very rushed swim in the hot springs, which were actually relatively cold. On another island, a few others from the group and I took a huge hike up a steep hill to a little town which apparently had only one open (very expensive) restaurant. On the next island, I got the chance to ride a donkey up the hill. Finally, we climbed to a castle at the peak of Oia, and watched a famous Santorini sunset. These last two days have been crazy; it's 10:30, and I am planning to head to bed as soon as my internet time is up! Thanks for the comments on my pictures. Love you, take care!
