Day 61

Well, its my last full day here at camp and two months away from home now! I have been on the computer for most of the morning booking a ferry and hostel for Santorini and getting all my pictures uploaded and organized. So I will make this another short post because I hear the beach calling my name for one last swim.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Crete volunteering with Archelon. I survived 6 weeks in a tent with just a sleeping bag very well and am hoping to come back at the end of the season to see some baby turtles. I learned tons of new things on the endangered animal and about conservation in general. I made some really great friends for life, got to explore the islands of Crete, mingled in five star hotels, woke up in the early morning hours to survey 11km of beach, met some strange tourists at the kiosk and most of all I am coming home with some awesome memories and even better pictures!! I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who was willing! Anyone want to come next year??

Tonight is my going away party and I picked an 'ABC' themed party. For those of you who are not known to this term its an 'anything but clothes' party. Don't panic no one will be in their birthday suit, it just means you have to make clothing out of boxes, tin foil, garbage bags, toilet paper.... basically anything but actual clothing. Everyone seems pretty pumped for tonight, I am just not sure if it is because of the party or that they are happy I am finally leaving! Regardless it will be a fun night!

I have my ferry booked for tomorrow which is exciting to get back on the road and see all the other places I want to see. First stop is Santorini, woot woot! This is the island with all the stereotypical scenery of white houses and blues roof tops. So my camera will be getting a work out over the next little bit.

Well that is all to say, I know I have said this a million times already but it will be so weird to leave camp but it is time to move on to bigger and better things! Jessica see you in 11 days babe! Bye Bye Archelon!

I am not going to cry, I am not going to cry, I am not going to cry....
