DAY 4 - Syros

So I ended up waking up at like 10:30 the next morning and Steph, Alex and I really wanted to go to the beach so we got our suits on and went right to our backyard. We layed out, swam, and said goodbye to Mykonos for like an hour until we had to go back and take showers and get ready to leave for the island of Syros. Syros is the Greek island known for its ports and its neo-classical buildings. Of all the islands we visited Syros and Tinos were my favs. So we caught the ferry to Syros and got to our hotels. They were really nice. We soon learned that it came with a continental breakfast the next day.

We had about 2 hours to kill before class so Cassie, Vina and I went to get a gyro since we were hungry. A gyro is chicken, tomatoes, french fries, and tziki (cucumber sauce) all rolled into a pita. They're pretty good but after a while they get old. The only good thing about them is they are cheap! 2.50 euro for one chicken gyro. Being students, we've kind of been living off these things. Class was at 6:30pm so we met and had our discussion for a little over an hour and then a pretty big group of us went out to dinner. For dinner I got an eggplant salad - ewwww!! I've never seen so many freakin onions in my life. I couldn't eat it. Luckily there was bread and my new friends offered me food. I seriously love everyone on this trip. What a great group! We were all laughing and having a great time at dinner. We were there for-ev-er. There was also this dog that kept wanting to eat our chicken. Haha, it was hilarious. After that some of us went back to the hotel to study for our quiz the next day. I got back and lauren, Cathy and I wanted to make a gelato run so we went right down the road and got it! If you have never had gelato before then have it. It's really freakin good. Almost as good as TCBY-haha. We all got the space cookie as a flavor - it tasted like a vanilla waffer - soooo good. After that we called it a night and went back to the hotel and crashed until class the next morning.
