Well we arrived safely in Greece about 3 nights ago. It is really easy to lose track of the time here because we have had so much fun! The first day we arrived on the ferry at 6 am and the Pink Palace shuttle came and got us from the port. When we arrived, they gave everyone a shot of ouzo (tastes like cherry nyquil-eww!) and it was definitely on an empty stomach for me. That night was the traditional toga party and it got crazy! Keely and I met a ton of people from our ferry from lots of different places and they have kind of been our crew since we got here. The toga party was crazy- they were smashing plates on people's heads and pouring ouzo down their throats. THe next day we spend on the beach with some people we met from New Zealand and we had a paddle tennis competition in the water. The view here is just amazing and the water is crystal clear and so blue/green. It is breathtaking!
Yesterday we took a kayaking tour and went cliff jumping and snorkeling. Keely and I were pros at communication and figured out our kayak routine really fast! When we went cliff jumping, I definitely lifted a leg up and my whole back left thigh looks like someone beat me with a paddle. OUCH! Having a sunburn doesn't help either. Greece was an awesome adventure and we met so many cool people it is amazing! Today we are headed out on a 1 am ferry to Italy and then 24 hours on trains to get us to Barcelona. Can't wait for that...

Wow...I could never imagine you (Jamie) jumping off a cliff into the water of your own free will. It really sounds like the two of you are really having a great time!
Find something fun to do on that wonderful train ride!
