I wish I had brought a camera to school today; it’s the big party day in the city for carnival, and there was a barbeque at school you were supposed to dress up for. (Barbeque in Greece is delicious souvlaki and tzatziki.) Most study abroad kids didn’t dress up, or just wore a mask, but it was actually a big deal. There was music and dancing and all kinds of costumes. Most of the costumes weren’t your average slutty American Halloween costumes—they were chicken bodysuits (an administrator), cow suits, and Mexicans with moustaches, ponchos, and sombreros. The most scandalous outfit I saw was probably a guy in a skirt and tights dressed like a bumblebee. It was fun and funny to watch. I’m sure the outfits tonight will be less tame, but I won’t see it. Despite some pretty convincing arguments to stay up partying all night, I won’t be going out, because I fly to Paris early in the morning! I can’t wait to see the city, and want to be well-rested so I can enjoy my day tomorrow. I’m bringing Greek flashcards and the bare minimum clothing needed for three days—I’ve learned from Istanbul, and can fit everything into my backpack. I’ll see you all in a few days, once again, enjoy your weekend!
