Feb. 6-first day with roommate
Roommate is great. He speaks excellent greek and is completely willing to help out anyway. We went to the Tuesday market and picked up some fruit, bread and a small pot used to heat water for the tea that I have right now. We are going to the school soon to hopefully play some soccer. We have to find a ball first and Z, the Bulgarian, tells me it is going to be tough to do…hope to prove him wrong.
Almost 1 pm right now. I am quite glad we got a good start to our day. I finally have a cell phone, which means I can set an alarm. Got to talk to the family and Courtney last night. Now that was the highlight of the trip so far. Adio.
Soccer was a blast. The field had a backdrop of two mountains and the bay of thessaloniki…come on…how nice? I am real excited to get back into the game. As expected, there is much more love for futbol here. I love it.
Made dinner with Paul, Petro, Chaz, two new girls (I will know their names by tom.) and Harrison (student from London). Petro added the tortellini and sauce, we added corn and sausage, girls added wine and cookies. The sausage was around 4 euro for a kilo, which turned out to be 3 looong links of sausage. I think I found the meat of my diet.
Talked a lot to Harrison about London’s politics (mainly learned a lot), some about u.s. policy and then some about u.s. pop culture…I know this sounds…not sure the word for it…but the conversation (among 5 of us) went on forever and was really nice.
Watched two episodes of the office to end the night.
