Change in Itinerary

Okay, so I received an email the other day stating that my hostel in Athens is still being renovated so they have moved my reservation to their sister hostel called
  • 'Athens Easy Hostel'. Their address is Satovriandou 26, Athens 10210 Greece. Phone +30.210.5243211-3.
  • I take a train tomorrow morning (Friday February 20th) from Angouleme to Paris at 8:50am. I Arrive at the Charles De Gaulle Airport at 12:09pm.
  • My flight to Athens leaves at 2:05pm.
I've been running around for the past couple of days trying to get everything ready for my trip like buying clothes ('Muslim country appropriate' clothes that I won't cook in, since the temperatures are in the 80s there), bug spray, sunscreen, ect. And printing off hostel directions and trying to make sure I have all my loose ends taken care of (like rent) here in France since I'm going to be gone for almost three weeks.

Since my last blog I haven't done much that's of great interest. Valentine's day a group of the assistants here went to Paris to watch the Scotland vs France rugby match, but I didn't go (I would have, but there weren't enough tickets) so I made my favorite cookies instead from the ingredients grandma sent to me in my last care package (she even mailed the butter for the cookies which my roommates and me thought was really cute, but we decided we'd better buy other butter that hadn't been traveling in the mail for a week just to be on the safe side). I've been saving up as much money as I could this month so I haven't been going out as much as usual to the movies, bars, clubs, concerts, parties, ect. Some of my roommates and I recently took up basketball, so we've been going to the courts everyday and shooting hoops. I recently discovered the joy and curse that is LimeWire (a website used to illegally download movies, music, ect). So I've been catching up on all my favorite tv series and recent movies that have missed since moving to France (so basically instead of being productive and reading, going to the gym or making sure to keep my blog updated, I've been watching tv...that is the curse of LimeWire).

I'll make sure to update my blog regularly during my vacation which starts tomorrow (booyeah!) LoveYa. Katie
