On Monday we went to the farmers market near the dorms and I had a really great
time. I ended up, through some struggle and a    bit of accommodation
by the shopkeeper, purchasing some fruit I’m Greek. While I know that
I have a ways to go in terms of mastering the Greek language, it felt
great to have a successful exchange with a native speaker.
We also went to a wine tasting in the evening which was unbelievably
fun. Not only was the wine great but the company was too. Honestly, it
was one of the best nights I have had on the trip so far.
I can only hope that things get progressively more fun and interesting
as the trip continues. The first few days have felt like a few months
in the best of ways.
