A rainy day in greece...

...I supose it was bound to happen eventually. I'm rained out, nothing to do but recover from last night. Went down town with a couple girls, who are both gone now. One was from SF though so thats cool. For some reason, getting an email address never feels quite as cool as getting a phone number, but hey, who am I to complain. It's sort of expensive here (fucking euro) but worth it. We went downtown to an area which is basically 7-8 square blocks of bars of varying sizes and atmospheres, which amazingly enough, are pretty mellow. I mean theres a ton of people out, but very chill i geuss...this hostel is pretty great, espepcially after being alone in hotels and trains for the last week. Its got a downstairs bar, a movie room with a projector, internet, ect. and is very clean. This is the first hostel ive been to i think where ive actually seen people clean! scary i know but hey, hostels are cheap, and you meet people. When the weather clears up, I think I might take a day trip to hydra and a couple other islands on this tour ferry deal thingy. Walking the streets is fun here. you always run into random ruins and resturaunt guys try to pull you into there resturants and make you promise youll come back later. actually, thats more anoying than fun, but an interesting experiance. I booked a flight to switzerland, so I dont have to take the ferry again. I dont want to spend another 3 days on the boat and trains - it feels like a waste and its hard to find cheap hotels and food close to the train stations. I'll probably make up the 200 euros i spent on the flight. I got some deal for sailors or something, but apperantly they dont check (I hope).
