Greetings from Greece, Delighted in Delphi


Josh Jacob Jingleheimer Mucci.

I am in Delphi, Greece and it is the cutest little town ever. It’s basically just one really long road that just barely fit our huge bus and there are little stores up and down the whole thing. We are only here for one night though and we are staying at a hotel called Parnassos that barely has Internet connection. So, hopefully I can upload these blogs tonight, but I still probably don’t have enough for pictures. We got to the hotel and dropped our stuff in our room—Go room 104! I am rooming with Elsa and Megan again, but this time we have a super tiny room with three twin sized beds all smushed together so we barely have room to move around. It has this little balcony looking out onto that town street though, and that is so cute. Also, there is a fireplace in the lobby and I kind of want to just go sleep in front of that—it looks great. I seriously want to move here. I am terrible at the Greek language though.

After we dumped our stuff, we headed to a restaurant two doors down named Epikouros. We got this delicious soup (It was just like broth kind of? It was semi-cheesy. I just know I couldn’t stop talking about how good it was), soft bread, the juiciest chicken in the whole world, perfectly seasoned potatoes, and some sort of nut/honey/lemon cake. The waiters were getting a kick out of our Greek attempts, but they all spoke English so we didn’t have any issues communicating.

At dinner I was explaining my problem with running out of words to say how awesome everything is here. I feel like everything is great, but I can’t keep saying this was great, that was great, or you will stop reading my letters to you! So, I got some suggestions of words to use from the gang.

Also, this girl Molly on the trip (she is super hilarious all of the time—sarcastic, loud, and witty type of hilarious) was making us laugh so hard during dinner and that was great fun. Now we are just chilling out before bed—we moved another hour ahead, so now I am eight hours in front of you back home. It sounds like we have a pretty packed day tomorrow, so I am pretty excited.

So far I am surprised at how much I love Greece. I really thought Italy would be my favorite trip, but now I’ll have to keep an open mind!

Over and Out!!!
