Hi everyone! Tomorrow morning is the start of my Spring Break! I am very excited to start a week of traveling. I will be spending 5 days in Athens, Greece and 4 days in Istanbul, Turkey. About 8 people from my apartment are coming with me to Greece and my roommate Emily and I will be going together to Turkey (Emily's Aunt works as a teacher in a city south of Istanbul).
Packing is going to be a little tough...the first airline we are flying with allows you one free carry on item, otherwise you have to pay an enormous fee to check luggage. I will be using a large backpack, so hopefully I will be able to fit all I need. Thankfully, the hostel we are staying at has washer machines that we can use.
In Athens, I am planning on seeing the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Ancient Agora, among many other museums and archeological sites. Hopefully, one day we will be able to go hiking and another day go to the beach (it will still be cold to actually wear a swim suit but it will be nice just to relax and read on the beach).
In Istanbul, I want to go see the Haggia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar.
Right after I get back from my independent travels, my program has a scheduled field trip that everyone has to attend that will be going to Florence, Verona, and Venice. Talk about traveling! The next two weeks are going to be packed tight with lots of sight seeing! Wish me safe travels.
