Boats Are Fun

Naxos - 6/30/07, Naxos, 8:47 p.m.

I arrived in Naxos safely! Yay! The ferry ride was super long, but I enjoyed it. I was able to leave my stuff in a locked room so I was stuff-free for a little bit anyway. I had lunch in the cafeteria, some spaghetti and bread and peaches. The peaches were delicious!

I also slept a lot on the boat cause I had to get up at 4 this morning to catch my taxi to catch my bus to Athens to catch the metro to Pireaus to catch my boat to Naxos. But I successfully navigated everything! Woot! It was kind of nice to go back to Athens. It was a little like going home. I didn't realize how much I did like it there.

So, I'm in Naxos now. My hotel doesn't have AC or a TV, but I think I'll manage. I am about .2 seconds away from the beach (where I'm headed now to read for a little) and really near a lot of restaurants and stuff. I found a really nice leather store that I am going to look for dad's wallet in.

I rented a 4 wheeler!! I was going to get a scooter, but I couldn't really drive it, so I opted for the safer 4 wheeler. I am stoked. I drove around for about an hour and it was tons of fun. It's not supposed to be too hot tomorrow, so I think I'm going to go to see some of the archaeological sites. Yay.

I guess that's all for now! Lots and lots of love!

p.s. Mom, I am still looking for a poster for Jeff. Oh, and on my laptop, my backspace key is broken now too. Boo computers.
