Ok, so far I have had a hard time trying to get my luggage. Everything in Greece is very laid back or slow as some people might say. I arrived here on Thursday and won't be able to get my luggage until Monday. It's ok since the people I have been working with have been more than willingly to share their stuff with me.
Ok, so the Greeks don't flush toilet paper. It doesn't matter what number you use you have to place it in a trashcan. It's kind of unpleasant.
Today, Hannah and I hiked a mountain. It was so cool. We sat at the top and watched a herd of goats graze for a good 15 minutes. Last night we had the most delicious dinner. After we finished eating an appetizer, main course of cheese and meat and ice cream and great Greek wine, I only had to spend three euros. It was pretty darn awesome.
At work that day, I spent my time cleaning excess dirt from shells. Why is this is this important? Well, based on the type and number of shells, we can determine what food people ate, if they used the shells as jewelry, or they had a dye industry. It was pretty darn cool. Since today was our day off, we went to a Greek tavern and tried to order and speak in Greek. The Greeks are so kind and patient. We probably butchered their language, but they appreciate that we tried. Lunch was awesome btw. We ate octopus and the Greek men bought us some of the local beer which was vey tasty!
