Greece Giddiness!

Yup... the moment we landed in the city of Patras Greece it hit us! WE ARE IN GREECE! we have been waiting for this moment to come and we have entitled our Greece experience "the Greece Giddiness" (If u are reading this Lori then I plan on attacking a lot of places we have learned about in class). How is everyone? I am doing well. We are planning on spending 4 nights in Athens and take various day trips to place like Delphi, Cape Sounion, and Corinth. On the 4th day we plan on going to the Cyclades for about 10 days. We are very, very excited. I am just so happy to be here. The people are so wonderful and amazing. It has been great. We got here by ferry from the Italian port of Bari. A funny story I have to tell... I am not that big on gambling but I guess I am lucky because I won a poker tournament on the ferry and I got lucky with my first (and only) chance at the slot machines! It was fun just to say I did it (don't worry mom and dad i am not a gambler in any way). Greek is paradise... on the 5 hour train from Patras to Athens the train was going on the edge of all the cliffs so we were able to see the islands and water and it was just out of this world. The locals kept giggling at us because they are used to this but they understood. What has been refreshing about Greece is that is cheaper than anywhere else we have been which means I will be able to update more. Ok well night you all. Efcharisto for reading this!

Attacks on Mumbai

Here is a letter my uncle wrote to the PM. I hope you all can understand the terror and grief people are experiencing as a result of these attacks... LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such af...

Say Fromage!

Try saying that instead of ¨say cheese¨next time you take a picture. Man am I loving Europe! I arrived in Spain today after a long but fun train ride from Paris. Ok let me fill you guys in. Last I left off I was telling you about how we were planning on seeing the Lourve, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Pantheon. We made it to all three but with very sore feet. Our bodies took a toll from the 10 hours of walking we did the day before. The Pantheon was a nice place because it provided us with a cool atmosphere. In the Pantheon there are graves of famous people like Emile Zola, Rousseau, and many more. It was interesting to see. It was just a beautiful building. The Notre Dame Cathedral was obviously really beautiful. For some reason I find cathedrals really relaxing and beautiful. The stained glass painting are breathtaking and so peaceful... makes me even more excited for my travel to Italia. The Lourve was HUGE!!! I mean it is on its own another city. We didn´t get to see all of it but ...

Off I go...

I am sitting here in my basement and I am getting more and more excited! People always dream and talk about how they will one day drop everything and go to Europe... and I get to make that dream come true! Finally, years of saving up and it is going to be spent on the most amazing trip of my life. True I am going with 3 interesting men and NO girls (where my girls at?!?!) but I love them so it's all good. I will try to keep this updated as much as I can and I will post pictures. E-mail me your addys if you want postcards ( amisha01@yahoo.com ). Love you all and wish me well on my journey to... EUROPE!!!! WOO HOO!
