Glyfada!

Ashley we miss you!

Today was our last day in Greece, so we wanted to make sure to use our free day wisely! We slept until around nine, and then took a taxi to Glyfada. Mary Ashleigh advised us to take a taxi because it's fairly cheap and much nicer than the tram. Our taxi driver drove extremely fast, and there were police on every street corner because of the strike. It took about twenty minutes to get to Mary Ashleigh's hotel, and only cost sixteen euros for the three of us. We were so excited to see Mary Ashleigh, and I also ran into Steven Shelton, Hannah Higgins, Ricky Jones, and Kate Sorrel. It was fun to see familiar faces in Greece. From her hotel we got on the tram, and the fun shopping area was only two stops away. I'm so happy we didn't take the tram all the way to Glyfada because it was really nasty! The tram literally runs through the main road there, so it's very convenient. We ate at a nice restaurant/club called Rich. It's one of the places that Amanda Rosen really liked when she was there. I ordered an Asian dish, and Mary Louise and Mary Ashleigh got spinach ravioli. It was all very yummy. I forgot to mention that Austin came with us, but instead of shopping he went to the beach and "exploring." The shopping was really nice, and Glyfada is much quieter than Athens. It's probably best described as an upscale beach town. Zara was our favorite store of the day, but there were other boutiques that were kind of fun too. It was so hot today and none of the stores have air conditioning, so shopping was a pretty exhausting activity. Before we met Austin back at Mary Ashleigh's hotel, we stopped for gelato. I eat that stuff everyday! The taxi took us back to our hotel by 6:30, and we had time to lay down before our farewell dinner in Athens. The dinner wasn't too special, but I'm probably just ready for some new cuisine. We are leaving for the airport tomorrow at 5:45. I cannot wait to tell y'all about Turkey!

Nightie,
