This morning I went to classes like usual and folowing my classes and lunch I went up with Mickel to his room. We tocked for a little while about many things out on his porch and then he sugested that we go down to the beach. So after getting on my swim sute we walked down to the beach. This was my first time to go swimming in the sea here. The watter was realy nice and was butiful crisp blue sky. We tocked for a while down by the sea and about 3 howers later we headed back for supper.

After supper I got ready for our trip into Athans to here an American patrotical consert at one of the schools there. A good frend of the MyHam our director here and he had invited us to come to the dress rehersal. We were originaly going to pay for a bus to take us in wich is about 300 Euro but Deno the head of the traval agency gave us a free one for the night.

The consort went well. It was not up to the standard that I thought I would be but it was good. They did maney numbers for several american british and greek plays like LamisRob, and play 1776 about our declation of indepenance. Tomaro they are going to preform it as a benefit for the American Embecy. The theator was realy nice. Looked to be farly new and had great ecustics. Many of the singingers did not know how to form there vous nor they folow many of the standards for how to behave on stage like not tuching hair and face, scracing, etc. Many of them were shouting instead of singing. They also were flat and sharp on many of the notes and they did not have any strong Tenors, or first supranos and with the type of music they were singing they needed that to make it float. Of corse all of this is from a critical traned mined for music. Over all the preformance was well done and for the number of peaces they did and it joust being people from the comunity doing this preformance they did a good job. I sobadly wanted to help them fix some of there little vouls and one in preticurlar was there (r’s) sound. We ended up gettingout 30 min later than expected so our bus had ben waiting for us out on the street for that time. He was real good about it and we ended up being back at the Artimus around 11:45 tonight.

Did a little more reviewing for test tomaro and then went to bed.
