lazy sunday

This week I learned: 

1. The trains are on strike

2. The pharmacies are on strike

Today I went to a cafe to work on homework. My lack of Greek speaking ability once again got in the way of ordering and the old man sitting outside who took my order had to go fetch another person who spoke English. My goal this semester is to be able to order my coffee without help!

ελληνικός (greek coffee) + greek homework

Then I wandered toward the "old city" for a walk. The streets are really tiny--only big enough to allow one car to squeeze by. And on Sunday afternoon the place is eerily deserted. I felt like the only person in the city--except when a random stranger walked by and I got a little nervous and held my bag a little closer... (the other day a girl in my program got mugged outside our apartment so I'm on the lookout for that) 

                 

                      as you go up the hill the streets get narrower and narrower
