"Allons! we must not stop here!
However sweet these laid-up stores—however convenient this dwelling, we cannot remain here;
However shelter’d this port, and however calm these waters, we must not anchor here;
However welcome the hospitality that surrounds us, we are permitted to receive it but a little while." -SONG OF THE OPEN ROAD SO we left Lampsakos/Bourtzi today and I cried. We have met the nicest people here, I can't even explain it. I have learned so much about everything and myself and friendship and love and life during the past two weeks... I will never ever forget all of our wonderful friends and some are even thinking about coming to America which would be amazing!! And all of the guys said that if we get in any trouble during the rest of our stay in Greece they would be there in a second to help us :). So no worries. we have a second home on the island of evia. i will miss it soo much. Anyways, this morning we got up and left the Sunshine House early in the morning and our friend George came and picked us up to go fishing!! It was beautiful but we were unsuccessful in our attempt to conquer the sea. Maybe next time. Then we went back to his house, ate lunch, went to Food Break for our last goodbyes, and caught a bus into Halkida. From Halkida we got a bus to Athens, walked to the train which connected to the metro which we took to "Acropoli". We are getting pretty good at this whole navigation business. The plan was to go to our old hostel and see if they had room and if not just find another one near by. So we got there only to find out they were booked... BUT.. the guy working at the desk said we seemed pretty cool so he offered to let us sleep on the COUCHES in the mezzanine for only 10 dollars a night!! YESSSSSSSSSS. hahahahahhaha. SOOOO NOW we are the legit vagabonds sleeping on the couch and we couldnt be any happier!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD. the plan is to stay here for 2 or 3 nights and then stay with a girl we met in evia at her apartment here in athens for 3 days. after that we are going down to crete to work on another farm and then our island hopping starts on june 20th. amazing. this trip has been more than i could have ever hoped for or even imagined. we are so happy right now and we are about to go eat some sandwich things that the Bourtzi guys bought us for the road. hahaha. yummmmmmm. i think jessicas blog has more detail about what we have done for the past 3 days so go look at that. (jessicawithabackpack.blogspot.com) okayyyy I LOVE YOU ALL. GEIA SAS.
