Well, it didn't start out as the greatest day, but it certainly ended up there! Our Greek class was fun, and Kam and I are definitely the top students. That may be just because we're overenthusiastic, but hey, that's the Cyprian way. We did have to tell our teacher that our names are not Kamrine and Christine, but if she gives us good grades, we don't really care what she calls us. Our other class was not so eventful-- it wasn't eventful at all in fact. Our teacher actually dictated our notes to us (commas and semicolons included folks) only to ask us to read our notes aloud to make sure we heard him correctly. Wait, it gets better. At the end of class, he handed us a printout with EXACTLY what he had us write.
Dinner was perfect though. We went out to a great restaurant in the Old Town. Our faithful taxi driver arrived with two cars in tow because we have more friends now. We barely had time to order a glass a wine before complimentary drinks started arriving at our table...from the owner, from the head waiter, from the men down the street. And honest to God, our teacher told us it was offensive to refuse, and after all- we're here for the cultural experience. They also brought complimentary shots, which Kamri informed me tasted like Vodka with flowers. We're not sure what they think of American girls, but as long the food and drinks keep being free, we're happy. After complimentary drinks, it was complimentary watermelon and a Greek lesson from the manager. Dinner lasted four hours, but it was a blast...and educational.
We're heading to bed, but we'll be up early-- Kamri's on a mission to find a Gyros (it's like a sub sandwich) and she's yet to find one. We'll let you know how it goes.
Love and Miss,
Kam and Christi
