little Italy

I was just served a cone of fresh banana gelato by a very attractive twenty-something year old Greek guy, at the organic market approximately 45 seconds from our apartment.

That ice cream cone may have been the best thing that has happened since I got to this country.

We are leaving for Andros early tomorrow morning.  So early that we have to be on the train when it starts running at 6am, to get to the bus when it leaves, to get to the port of Rafina, which is 45 minutes away, for our 8am boat to the island.  We have reservations in a touristy little beach village, which is not my ideal location, but what the group preferred.  It may make things complicated if we actually want to see more of the island, but no one else seems bothered by that.

At this point, I am just so excited to be getting out of this city for a few days that I don't really even care what we do.  I'm going to take a stock pile of good books, a lot of sunscreen, and a fully charged iPod and set of camera batteries and just see where my mood takes me.  If that means I have to spend the whole weekend by myself, so be it.

I'm skipping my class tonight, today was far too stressful - I had to meet with some people at the school, work in the office for a few hours, and figure out our plans for tomorrow - so I am going to make some pasta with Vanessa, pack for the island, and call it an early night!

We three are headed to KY Friday morning. Saturday we will attend a family reunion. Levi hasn't been for several years. Matter of fact, I doubt that he remembers being there! Should be fun. :)

Enjoy your weekend, however you end up spending it!
