This morning we had our regular day of classes. Today was my last day to only have 2 classes on a odd day. Our classes are broken up into odd and even days and we alternate days based on the date is even or odd number. Starting Monday when Dr. Babber arives I will start to have Operating Systems at 8:00 am and then Networking at 9:00. The rest of the classes will be the same Humanities 270 and Humanities 201 wich we are waching a mov in right now.

This morning Mr. Myhan our director anounced that we had a coice of going to see the sun set on top of a mounton named Sounion or go see the new Star Wors Episode III movy that came out yesterday in Grofatta dew to it being clouty out side. The sun set would not be good with the clouds and not being clear. So that is what we did tonight. We will be going back to Sounion to see the sun set later in the summester on a better day.

Today in chaple Deno Ruso the minister / misinary at the church in Athans spoke to us. He brought a elder and wife that support the work here and are in town visiting with him. He also brought a convert who is Russian and is now speaking for the Russian service that the church in Athans. Deno inteperted for him as he spoke in Greeak. That was very interesting.

We departed at 3:00 for Grofatta wich is a mor americanised town on the coast about 45 min away from Portrafti. Our director Mr. Myham droped us off from our charter bus and gave us a little orentation giving us our barings of where things were and then we were on our own for supper. The group going to the movy were to meet back around 5:30 in a park like squair acrosed froma market beffor going to see the Movie as a group.

Benet, Joe, David, and my self went over to the Pizza Hut where we ended up ordering 2 Medem pepronie pizzas to start with and latter got another medeam. We had to pay 1.50 Ero each for the table wich is different from the states but we had the table for as long as we wanted it then. We ate out side on a street corner in a finsed in patteo. Our watter was a very nice felow. He was intrested in on of the books that Joe had on the table about tanks. He went and got a pice of paper and wrote down the information so he could go get a copy of it to read. I had a Coke Colla to drink with limon that was very good. We sat there from about 4:20 to 5:15 and had a nice dinner there. One funy thing that we saw was a car puled up on the street curb to park right on the side wack under neth the stop light on the courner. You shere would not see that in the states… you would get a tiket. haha.

Well from there we met up with the group in the park and went over to the movie theater. The theater that we wached was farly new and was very nice in side. The movi started at 6:20 pm and coust 7.00 Ero. Not to bad. I ended up sitting with two guyes from greece, Benet, and David Mathews who is our new SA VP at HU next fall. The I ended up tocking with the Two locals for some time. One who was sitting right next to me usto be a travl agent and spoke good english. From what I understand his sone who was sitting next to him spoke farly well also. We started out tocking about the movie and the guye sone had seen one of them when he was a boy. They liked the action and effects, story line so they decided that they weould come back and see the new one. They were both very nice people. We tocked about the fact that I was here for school and they wonderd where I was fom in the US. I toled them I was from Arkansaw and they sed where Bill Clinton is from, I sed yes. The man next to me has a good frend who livesin Cicogo, IL and he sed that he had travled to see him.

By the time Intermition came around His son and I formly interduced our selves and shook hands. We tocked a little more and the wonderd what pople in US thought about the War in Iraq virses what the Media ses. We tocked about hat for short while and then the movie start backup again.

You hered me right!! There are intermtions in the movies over here. It was nice and gave a chance to streach and for the many children to go get more food and go to the rest room.

We then walked back to the squair to meet backup with the rest of our group befor bording the bus to head back to Portrafti. We gatered around and chatted a little bit and some people went throu the market and bought things.

Tomaro we are taking our first trip into Athans Greece on public transportation. We will go as a group this time and the rest of the time we will be on our own to go with a group of frends on sundays or when ever we want to. We will eat lunch in Athans and touer around a little bite befor meeting back up to wack over to the church for evning services in English. That should be a very intersting day and exiting to see and meet with some more local ciristians.

I am off to bed now. I am getting tired. It is little after midnight here and tomaor will be a big day.
