Today, we went to the president’s house of the American College of Degree to have dinner. His house was absolutely beautiful and the food that was prepared was very tasty! It was nice to sit around and talk to people while just having a good time. Everyone was dressed very nicely and it really made the night fun! We took tons of pictures that we can look back on for years to come. As this program is coming to a close, I am appreciative of all the opportunities I have had due to this trip.

With all of the constant action going on every day here in Athens, it was quite relieving to have a more relaxed day as we did not travel around Athens or any other city today. After our morning classes, a sociology professor from Deree held a cultural and economic informational seminar where we were able to talk about the formation of the European Union and the establishment of the Euro currency at the turn of the millennium. Afterwards, I was given the opportunity to meet one of Art Dimopolous’ friends who runs a prestigious think tank in Washington DC called the Brookings Institute. Later in the day a few of us students played basketball with one of the piers named Lucas. Lucas plays basketball for Deree and is very good. But the Dream Team (shout out to Jack Dulgarian, Matt Lycas, Albert Scerbo, and myself) was able to annihilate Lucas and his team. Hopefully Lucas had extra tissues in his gym bag. The analogy of Odysseus and the Cyclops comes to mind after our victory in the battle on the court. Later on that night we had dinner at the gorgeous home of the President of the American College of Greece.
