Day 9: Aloe,Goddesses, and Goodbyes!

Hello! Thank goodness I have dark skin! My sunburn went away over night. Aloe is like heaven in a bottle. That stuff could cure cancer (not really, but metaphoricaly). Today is my last day in Greece! I had an amazing time. My tour of Mount Olympus is sheduled for this morning, and then im off to the UK! This trip so far has been pretty great. Yesterday was fun. Walking around the little town  remined me of home, even thought home is nothing like Greece. I made friends with some locals, got some fresh fruit and vegetables, and packed up my backpack. These are the last few days of my trip. I am excited to come home and tell all my stories, but I don't want to leave.

  Last night, when I was brushing my teeth, it seemed like someone was out on my balcony singing. So I walked out there and low and behold Aphordite, goddess of love, was sitting on the railing. I couldn't believe my eyes. While she was there and I had not met anyone important in  Greece yet, I thought I might ask a few questions. The first question I asked was; why are you known to be so ill-tempered? Her response; Because I never had any childhood to learn how to share or how to help others, not just my self. My second question; why did you intoduce Helen of Troy to Pairs? Her response; because they seemed perfect for each other, her being so beautiful and him so muscular. My last question; why are you so attracted to Ares if he is such a violent man?
Her response; because theres just something about bad boys, and Hephaestus is so BLAH!

  I had a great time in Greece going  to the Parthenon, Milos Beach, Mount Oylmpus and meeting Aphordite.
Hopefully the Uninted Kingdom will be just as much fun

Day 8: Burnt to a Crisp but still movin'

Hello! Yesterday didn't turn out too well. I planned on getting a tan, not a burn. I put on tons of sunscreen but it didn't help. I look like a lobster fresh from the sea. I planned on going to Mount Olympus today but  due to my severe sunburn I have re-scheduled it for tomorrow. Today I am going to walk around the little towns in Athens and learn some cultures from the natives. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. With some aloe and a nice nap im sure things will clear up.

Day 7: Relax and get a TAN!!

Hello. Yesterday was an interesting day. The Parthenon was crazy cool. Seeing something that old that is still in contact is amazing. It was beautiful. The Delphi was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen! It used to be known as where Heaven and Earth met. It over looks the mountains, and is amazing. It belonged to Zeus' son Appollo. I also did a little shopping. There isn't much shopping in Greece but whatever there was i'm sure I did it. Today I am spending all day on Milos Beach. I have been non-stop this whole trip, and vacations are for relaxing aren't they? I'm very excited to work on my tan! Well now im off to the beach.

Day 6: First Day in Greece

Hello. I am very excited for my first day in Greece. Today I will be going to The Parthenon. It was constructed betweeen 447-432 BC by the Anthenians. They devoted it to thier leader, Athena, the goddess of wisdom. I am also going to visit the Delphi, the most famous archaeological sites in Greece. Hopefully it will be a fun day.

Day 5 Pt. 2: Greece!!

Hello! I arrive in Athens, Greece this afternoon. I had a great time in France, and i'm ready for Greek fun. Here I plan to visist The Parthenon, Mount Oylimpus, and Milos Beach. My family is Greek , which makes me all the more excited to learn and see the culture. I am staying at Athens Studio, a beautiful hostel, right smack dab in the middle of the city. Well I should get a good nights rest before my first day in Greece tomorrow.

Day 5: Goodbye France, Hello Greece

Bonjour! Today is my last day in Paris, France. I got so caught up in all the beauty here, I forgot there were other cities in France. Whoops! Yesterday was crazy. I got to see the Paris Disneyland, which was extravagant. I had a great time. I spent most of they just walking around and taking everything. I also learned how to say, "Hi, my name is Sydney and I'm from the United States. Its Salut mon nom est Sydney et je suis des États-Uninted.I did a little shopping, and called home to see how everyone was doing. As night rolled in, I went back to the Regent and freshened up from my long day. Then I met some friends also visiting Paris for escargot or snail. Then we all went to the Eiffel Tower together. It was breathtaking. At night when everything was light up. I am proud to say I can now cross that off my bucket list. Today I am visiting the Swiss Alps and then getting on the Euro rail to go to Greece.

Day 4: Remy and The Eiffel Tower

Bonjour! The Chateau de Versailles was b-e-a-utiful. Everything was so big and old yet delicate and beautiful. This trip is really turning out great. So far I have seen most of the Atlantic Ocean, the Musee de Louver, the Arc de Triomphe, and an amazing fashion show. I also met Remy the famous rat chef at Gusteau's. I didn't have much time with him but I did have enough to ask him three questions. The first one was; what is your favorite dish to cook? Remy said it was Ratatouille. The second question was; do you ever miss your family back home? He said he misses them allot but he really like the city, his friends, and his job. The last question was; If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? Remy said he would have come to Paris and started cooking earlier; he loves to cook and bake all the time. I am so blessed to have met this little mouse. He also gave me some help with my cooking skills.
  
    Today I am visiting the Eiffel Tower. I am overwhelmed with excitement. I have always dreamed of coming here and now I  finally am. I am also going to visit Disneyland in Paris. How cool is that? Well I better get going because it’s going to be a long day.
