The host family dinner night was amazing. I had the pleasure of spending the evening with a sociology professor from DEREE along with her husband. They came and picked us up from our apartments by foot and we walked back to their house for some homemade lemonade. Yum! The lemons were from their lemon tree at their summer home. They then took us for a ride around Athens and then we had drinks in Glyfatha. The view was gorgeous! I really learned a lot about Greek life and didn’t feel like a tourist! We then went back to their home for a huge meal! Everything was delicious! I would like to say that this night was my favorite night however I feel that way about every night! 🙂

The next morning we went to Andros. This was such a beautiful island. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The beauty was unbelievable. What I loved the most was just living the island life. I loved walking everywhere. At two in the morning when our night was over it was so amazing to be able to walk back on the windy roads, up the mountain, along the water back to our hotel. I even saw a shooting star!

On Friday we learned all about olive oil. I now understand why they called it olive oil appreciation. I definitely appreciate it even more now, and now I know I can use it even in my dessert!!

This experience has been amazing and I am still so excited for what the next couple days have in store! 🙂
