Travel with Gretchen
 
Went to Syros Island, which is the center of the cyclades. It was beautiful! Looked like a little french village sitting in the Aegean. Rained for the first time since I have been here, which was a pleasant escape from the heat. Finally got my passport back from the Naxos Police (my visa was extended). Has a nice little visa on the inside, which makes me feel important. 

Only one more week left in Greece! Then off to Budapest!
 
Some greek words I have learned (note they are not spelled right just phonetically)
  • Yah sahs/yah su = hello/good bye (yah su is informal)
  • neh= yes
  • pah rah kah lo= please (or to get attention)
  • ehf khahr ee stoh= thank you
  • see ghnoh mee= excuse me 
  • Gami= a lot of good ( for say something is wonderful)
  • loo loo thee= flower
  • Allego= horse
  • caca= poop (Allego caca haha)
  • Avreo= tomorrow (most used greek word)
  • kalimera= good morning
  • kalispara= good evening
  • kali nita= good night
  • ahng lee kah= english
  • panno= up
  • meaty= nose
  • tree loo= crazy
  • mateau= eyes

I can understand a little now but the words and sounds are difficult. It is fun though to try and say their words and them try to say english words. 

Hopefully in the next week I will be going to the islands Paros and Mykonos so look for pictures!
 
Run down of my time in Naxos!
  • June Left Home and flew into Santorini then took a ferry to Naxos!
  • June/July Did tours for Naxos Horse riding. Rode on the beach everyday, but no days off to explore the Island. But I did meet amazing people, and spent my nights at Island Bar! http://www.islandbarofnaxos.gr/
  • July Quit Naxos Horse Riding and stayed with the always awesome Sloan. Went to see Demeters Temple, Halki, Aparanthos, Floti, and hung out at the beach most of the day. Island bar closed! Saw Cousteau's son (very cute). Boys are confusin
  • August New Apartment! Watched friends dogs. Went to the Portara finally! Went to Apollon.
