Ok so for those who may or may not know I lost my job a couple weeks ago...totally unexpected and very, very sad! i had started to write this very indepth blog about it all so express my feelings but then things began to change quickly in a world-wind...literally spanning the globe. So for now...that's all ya need to know...lost my job but got 3months insurance and severance! yay!!!! thank goodness for that b/c that allowed me to feel 100% better by booking a very last minute trip to Greece and Paris on the way home! As most of you know (expect for those few blog stalkers i might have) my BFF Haley lives in Greece now with her boyfriend. this was my 4th time going and every time i learn soemthing new, do something new and have a different experience. It's funny i saw a guy Akis who i met there 6 years ago and we hadn't seen each other in 6 years! We had such a good time catching up especially b/c he speaks English very well! Haley and I took one day and discovered the northern half of the island...we saw some amazing, amazing views! We discovered an amazing castle and just romped around the whole thing taking tons of pictures. It's so great just driving aorund b/c the island is so small you can't get lost really. We bought a map and highlighted the route we took too.
Also, my favorite Greek is Spiros, who i met 2 years ago. He's only 23 but is as mature as me for sure, especially by Greek standards. We became very close the first time i was there and then kept in contact over the last year via IM. We had many long talks via IM. We lost touch at the end of the year so it was sooo great to spendmany nights up late talkingto him. Oh and one night we were eating dinner and Cristo (haley's bf) was like "hey, let's go to a movie" I was like sure why not, who ever goes on vacation to Greece and goes to a movie? but it was so fun!! they even have intermission during the movie. Oh and Haley and Cristo secretly got Spiros to show up at the movie theatre. i had no idea! it was really cute though. and then afterwards, i left with him and got to ride in his new Fiat car! haha! and we went to this place called Potato Mania, which apparently is his favorite place to eat Haley said. And when i realized what it consisted of i am for sure that it is my favorite place too. it's essentially a french fries bar where you put whatever toppings you like on it. And if you know me you know i LOVE fries!! haha! It was so cute, he had to hel me order and tell me what all the foods were. and then we had a heineken overlooking the port in Corfu town and eating the delicious food! ok...crap...gotta go eat my chinese food with my french friend's brother...to be continued...haha!!! sorry..i tried
