Parents come to Greece!! It was a week of endless greek food and wine at my favorite places around Athens, being quizzed on every single thing I have learned this semester, a day trip to the Temple of Poseidon, and a short visit to the one and only Santorini.

I finally made it to the Parthenon. It only took me 14 weeks of looking up at the acropolis, but in my defense, I honestly thought my classes would go there so I was trying to save my legs.

I took my parents to all of my favorite places to eat around Athens and man oh man was free food a nice change up. We went on a day trip to Sounion (not Union kiddos) to see the Temple of Poseidon. The temple, as you can see, is at an edge of a cliff looking out into the Aegean sea and it is absolutely breath taking.

The next day we headed to my dream destination; Santorini. Yes, it's almost December and it wasn't full of island life, but it was just as beautiful as I had imagined. The first day we attempted to go wine tasting in one of the many vineyards on the island, but unfortunately missed our stop. The next day my dad and I were determined to go, but my mom had other plans. A three-hour hike. We unwillingly went along, but our mindset quickly changed because VIEWS again.

We met an adorable couple who run their own coffee shop in the town and they gave us complimentary wine every time we went and I got a cool picture of it so here:

Last but not least I met the best dynamic duo on the island and I named then Max and Stewart. They pups came out of nowhere while we were waiting for our bus and were the friendliest dogs I have met this entire semester. The one on the right kept snuggling itself into my arms. UGH, all I want is a dog for Christmas.

Two weeks to go, I hope I remain somewhat sane during finals.
