If America runs on dunkin, then Athens runs on frappe's and cigarettes. Just the other morning we were sipping coffee upon awakening while on phone with tery's cousin making plans for coffee date. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my afternoon in all honesty, soaking in the incredibly heavy grecian sun, which by the way is no joke at all. We had beach day yesterday practically soaked in sunscreen and our tans still cant touch this (dun nu nu nu). Today we were left to our own devices (tery had to work boo hoo) and we successfully ordered coffee (and cigarettes) IN GREEK. Rode the subway to city center to exchange the loves USD's....sadly we were reminded of how useless they are comparatively. So the shock lit yet another fire under our asses...job searching underway in the next few weeks. We went for a walk in the gardens (athens version of central park, complete with peacock and goat zoo...horrific) but the park is gorgeous and smells like heaven. This is where Danica Melissa greek school took place today ;) before long we wont even know english heehee. Its dinner time now (thankyou tery) we will post pics and catch up soon XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX- your lovergirls

Thanks or the update my loves. Ahhhh, frappe! Brings me back to Cosmos Cafe, where I learned how to say kalimera, kalinichta, paraculo, effcharisto, and stomata tis malakias (probably all spelled incorrectly) among other things. Living through you!! Need to come visit. Can we please set up a date to talk this through, even if it's via email? Love you's, always Leah xx
