Sparta day + Monemvasia night

So we woke up today and had our usual hotel breakfast and prepared to take our quiz. If I could change one thing about me it would be to make me a better test taker. Yeah so after that quiz we went on an adventure to see the Olive Museum - yeah Greeks are known for their freakin olives! I was really excited for this because I LOVE OLIVES! It took us a while to find the museum but we found it! The name of the museum was The Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil. We basically learned everthing about olives or at least the Greeks used olives and olive oil for basically everything. In fact I read that athletes used to drench themselves in olive oil before competition to make their body's glisten. Haha - showing off from day 1. Attached to the olive museum was this little exhibit about Greeks and America. The mass immigration of Greeks to America came between the times of 1880 to 1950. There were lots of pictures in this small exhibit. We learned that the Pap test which tests for cervical cancer was invented by Georgios Papanikolaou and diners were first started by Greeks. I also saw a Virginia is for lovers frisbee in the exhibit and I took a picture with it because I was like "represent!" After the olive museum we went to Mystra which was an old archeological site. Mystra was a basically small ancient occupied area on top of a mountain copied from the Byzantine era. We started from the top and worked our way down. Again we took pictures of the awesome views and talked about how we all wanted gelato. When we got back to the bus we made our way to Monemvasia. The bus ride took forever! We seriously got lost like 3 times. Everyone was saying that the ride should have taken 1 hour but it really ended up taking like 2 - i wasn't really complaining but we were all starving so that made it harder. The only good thing about the ride was that the views were amazing! haha I keep talking about those views because they were seriously probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life!

So we get to the hotel, divide into our rooms and all decide to get food and hit the beach. So after seeing Alex, Sarah and Julie's room we were all like "let's hang-out in here tonight!" So we all were deciding on the drinks we wanted to buy and the food we wanted to bring while we were on the beach. Eventually we went to the store bought stuff and then Sarah and I went to the bakery because we were hungry. I got something really good but I can't remember the name of it. After eating Sarah and I went back to her room and watched TRACK AND FIELD on TV! After that we all split up and showered for the night throw-down. I wore my white dress and Lauren, Heather and Cathy helped straighten my hair and do my make-up. We had so much fun getting ready. Then we all headed down to the room. 9:30 was when the party started! So we all got there and we started playing Kings. We were all having so much fun! Alex picked me as her "8 pick a date" so everytime she drank, I would have to drink too. I was like "dang it Alex!" everytime she had to drink. We were all laughing! So after two games of kings we all wanted to go out in this little abandoned town. So we go exploring and immediately get attacked by creepy guys. It was so creepy. We found out that the clubs didn't open til 12 so we were sitting around for the longest time. Then Shaina, Alex, Sarah, Lauren and I decided to go back. I was just getting really creeped out that I couldn't stand it anymore. Plus I was exhausted! So as we're walking back, the little boys were following us so we all get pissed and Alex moons them! Of course they keep following us after that. So we get to the hotel and Alex gets so loud that I know for a fact that we basically woke-up the whole hotel. Since I was scared I stayed inside for a while and then went up to my room and fell asleep.
