As requested by the mother:



a typical day at the Sunshine House...



wake up at around 9:00 am, get ready, go upstairs in the main kitchen where someone usually has already prepared breakfast, organic oatmeal yummmmmmmm, then eat outside with the other wwoofers, and wait until takis comes and tells us what we have to do for the day.

then we usually work for about 3 or 4 hours doing whatever they say (making flour, cleaning dishes, weeding, cleaning their house, etc.) until someone makes lunch or we go inside to make lunch at about 2. umm then we eat, have like "rest" time where we can bounce off on the bikes to the internet cafe or read or something around, and then we come back around 6 to do a little more yard work and water the grass for like 1 or 2 hours.

after that we can grab something to eat and can pretty much do whatever. there is like a big patio and picnic table outside so everyone just like hangs out and talks. jessica and i have gotten into the habit however of escaping and going to hang out with our new Lampsakos friends that we met at like the village cafe place. hahaha.

we sleep in a little room downstairs in the main house that is pretty cute and its right by the bathroom and like a little library place. we usually eat inside on the floor with all the yoga pillows haha or outside on the patio.

takis and kerys and their kids have their own little house on the property too that is separate from ours so thats where they sleep and the other wwoofers sleep in a little cabin next to the main house and a mongolian like tent thing next to takis's house.

we only have gotten one day off and im not sure when our next one will be ugggg



anywaysssssss last night was soo fun!!!! after we were done watering the lawn, we went and met up with these guys at like the little cafe right down the street (which by the way sells the BEST crepes i have ever eaten in my life.. seriously its like heaven) and then we went to azuls the little beach bar place with four of them and we tried Ouzo!!! its like a greek liquor that everyone must try if they come to greece. kind of gross and tastes like black liquorice. no me gusta. the guys are really nice (not creepy) they are like country greek boys so yea they are cool. and they speak pretty good english. tonight we might be going to a movie with them and then tomorrow night to a dancing bar. successssss. ahhh jess and i are shakin up lampsakos haha. we are such random americans its really funny. oh and we met this girl named Fotini who like takes care of us and keeps all the guys in line like she is their mom its so funny.

AHH GREECE IS GOOD.
its sad to think that its alrready 10 days over.

  1. Thank you, Chels! I like to know those things. It helps me get a better picture of your days in Greece. The kitty is driving us nuts. She has definitely come out of her shell again. In the middle of the night she meows to go outside, she always steals Beau's bed and she wants to play under the covers when we go to bed. I can not believe that she is almost 16 years old!!! She seams like she is 6!!! I think that I am really beginning to miss you. It is starting to hurt, but I feel better just knowing how happy you are. I love you and miss you like crazy!!
