When we arrived in Athens I was very surprised that it was not very hot. I was expecting it to be 90 degrees or at least feel like it. Once we arrived at the dorms we had a few moments of free time and then we took a campus tour. Honestly I was expecting the campus to be a couple of blocks in the middle of the city, but it is so pretty! The outdoor amphitheater has the prettiest view!!! After the tour we returned to the dorms and had dinner and met with some professors and some Greek students.

After dinner we toured the neighborhood and this was a bit overwhelming. I am not use to crossing such busy streets. There were many restaurants and shops in the platia. I still can’t believe that I am in Greece! When a couple of returned to the dorm we had to ask the RAs to help us unlock the door, which was really funny. I can’t wait to see what else this trip has in store!!
