Day 34

Internet is finally back up on the camp site! Yes it was crashed for a few days which is really annoying because the computer is my one source for communication back home.

Not much happened over here on my end. Today I had the the morning and afternoon off so I managed to get in a little shopping in.However it i s so expensive in Greece which does put a damper on things. I did find some cute dresses on sale, which means I will actually have pictures of myself looking like a girl and NOT in the famous green jacket of mine. Also due to the fact that we have been deprived from meat for two weeks now Justine and I headed out for lunch at a restaurant on the main strip. We tried the famous Greek dishes of tsatsiki (yogurt dip) and moussaka (not even sure what I ate, but it contained meat and was oh so good). What made the afternoon more sweet was getting a discount on the bill after Justine and I charmed the manager and got to save a few euros! Helps balance out the small shopping debt I have accumulated.

Tomorrow morning Mik (PA leader on camp) and myself are heading out to the south of the island to help put together the other camp in Matala. Yes there are male volunteers on camp but we have all learned that females just get the job done better. So off I go to no camp, no electricity, and three days of moving big boxes and building shelter. As bad as it sounds I am looking forward to seeing another part of the island and a little break from camp is always nice. Even though a month is not very long, when you live this close to everyone it gets cramped fast. So til then Goodbye! Blog to you all in three days to let you know how the building goes!!
