As we wrap up or last week here on the island, I wanted to show you a few things that have kept us busy. Besides homework and daily work assignments!
We had a our long weekend break recently. A few of us took a ferry over to another island, Ios. It was a lot of fun! We traveled on our own (without the help of Peter..which we now do not take for granted at all!) and spend a night enjoying ourselves in another beautiful place. We were able spend the day on an actual sanded beach! We ate at a really fun pub just down the road from our hotel. The owner was actually our waiter and he loved us! He even gave us a few of his favorite drinks for free. We then spent the rest of the night playing games, cards, and enjoying each others company!
After the long weekend we had a really busy week. It was the beginning of our last week, and we had classes, a LONG hike to the very top of Profitis Ilias (a mountain), another VERY long hike from the city of Fira to the city of Oia, a sunset shoot in Oia (where the sisterhood of the traveling pants movie was shot), a volcano trip...and a BBQ at the hotel with all of the students, professors, our host and his family, and everyone else who have helped make our trip so memorable.
I can't wait to actually show you all the pictures I have.. these are only a few and do not do the experience justice.

Post card view of Oia :)
But not a postcard...I actually took this and its really as beautiful as the real postcards make it look.
Old crazy Potter... :) SO MUCH fun. I successfully threw a bowl.
Look Mom! This is the ferry we took back! I actually didn't mind this ride :)
