Today
we were joined with 3 people for a walking tour of the city. Pam, who is a
graduate from Principia College, brought her friend Katherina, and Katherina’s
son, Giannis, to give us a tour of the city from a local’s point of view. They
took us to a Byzantine church, a hole in the wall Café which turns into a bar
at night, a street of lamp shades, a market area, and an amazing restaurant.
After an excellent day of traveling as a local, we separated into “Date night”.
A group of us traveled back to the café to see what it was like at night. The
café is literally through a rugged looking door. You would never know it is
there from the street. It used to be houses, but is now converted into a café/
museum surrounded by houses and trees. In summer they have the roof off to see
the stars. Andrew (my date) and I then went to eat food, where we were joined
with Noelia and Kiki. We had a great double date, and after we went back to the
lamp street. It was created by an organization and at the end of the project,
each person was asked to bring a lampshade. So, strung across the buildings
are rows and rows of glowing lampshades, each so unique and beautiful. It was
enchanting.
