Day 52

I would just like to start off by saying that I am so hot right now. I am sitting in a cafe on JuJu's computer sweating balls!! We are on day three of a heat wave and I just can't take it anymore! SO HOT!!!! The horrible thing about Greece is that it starts getting hot very early and will refuse to cool down until around 8 at night. As I am telling you this right now I am drying my forehead of sweat! I will be hitting up a cold, cold, cold shower when I get back to camp. Which reminds me..... I still have to walk back to camp! UGH!

Okay I got my complaining out of the way and now I can continue on my update...

Well day 52 has been interesting thus far. My morning went as follows, waking up at 5am on a island in Greece, walk several kilometers looking for sea turtle tracks in the sand, waiting half an hour to take a bus back to camp who completely ignored us waving him down and drove right past us, then hitchhiking our way back to camp. Definitely a morning I have never had imagined I would ever experience. I was so tired getting out of the car I even hit the man's door on my way out!! Thank the lord he did not notice me doing that and no dent was left. Close one.

Camp turned into a soap opera over the past few days with lots of drama going on. Long story short one of the girls hit one of the guys in an ugly argument. They used to date before coming to Greece and it was not a clean breakup. Therefore living together on camp was difficult and now we are down two volunteers as they got moved to separate camps yesterday. A bitter sweet ending to the drama since most of the camp was on the same page and happy to see one leave. The funny part of it all is the karma one will experience heading over to the Matala camp. With no warm showers, no electricity, and holes on the floor for toilets. Enjoy!

Hopefully now the high school, oh sorry I mean camp full of very mature young adults, will all come together now. Tonight is Adel's (South African) last night, which equals to BBQ and cocktails! I am hoping for the best and that we can all hangout and have a fun filled night. Most likely it will go smoothly and I can have a good last night with one of my closest friends on camp. It's so depressing making such strong connections with the volunteers and once you become very close and comfortable it seems as though it's time for one of you to leave. Just means I will be visiting you in South Africa Adel!
