"Tha ithela na paragilo ena nifiko" means "I'd like to order a wedding dress."
I thought that it'd be so funny if I told that to a waiter while pointing at the
menu, all the while with my innocent unknowing face on. Speaking of
ordering, I'm going to dinner tonight with all the people on this trip. We
all have been hanging out a lot. Today we actually went out for lunch and
dessert and now we're going to dinner with the head guy of Nakas
Conservatory in Greece. Earlier today there were a lot of awkward
silences because no one knew what to ask him about the school. I can tell
he's the kind of guy who likes to be asked things so I'm gonna tell him
my travel plans and ask him to give me suggestions about the best way to
do it. This is what I've decided to do (the plans might change but it doesn't
hurt to have a goal). I'm goin' island hopping! I'm gonna go to the closest
one which is only aboutan hour and a half away by boat and then hop all
the way along on different islands until I get to Santorini, my ultimate
desired island. I might go with a few people. I know others want to see
some island action. But I'm thinking they'll like my idea of seeing around
8 or nine of them! All right, dinner time!
Things are getting easier :)
I've said "Efharisto" (the English character way of spelling it) to a lot of
peopleand they replied right away. It means thanks. They said right back
to me, "Parakalo" which means "You're welcome". Just that little
communication has made me feel so good. You were right Whit.

Settling in. It's funny how big a role Eating has in getting to know people. I like the island hopping idea! Maybe on some of the legs you can get someone to sail you across. Really cool. I have always heard that the islands are the highlight of any Greece trip.
