Yamas

That's cheers in Greek. My knowledge of the language here doesn't go much beyond that! Haha.. 

It was another relaxed beach day for me. You know you are tan when the locals start thinking you are Greek. 

Not really much else to report! Well I suppose I could share some interesting tidbits about Greece:

- clothes in general are sorta optional. Especially on the beach. I have seen couples skinny dipping together at 11 in the morning. Overall, it doesn't bother me at all. It's just the way they do things. 

- over half the men on the island are either named Spiros or George after the two most renown saints of Corfu. This makes learning names so much easier. Haha. 

- toilet paper cannot be flushed and they don't have shower curtains or doors. As a result, the whole bathroom gets soaked. You get used to it.

- there is not a right or wrong way to spell something. Anything goes! I love that because I have always been terrible at it. 

- the Greek coffee is like sugary mud! And I love it! :)



Sara my apartment neighbor holding a wildflower she found on the way back from the beach. Doesn't it look like a bouquet of flowers instead of a single bloom? Just exquisite!! 

Received much news today from home:) it was lovely to hear about the family!
