So we finally arrived in Greece. Only a day late because apparently the Pope couldnt get enough of Talia and I. He followed us to Brindisi and therefore our ferry was cancelled; there was nothing coming into or going out of the port that day. So we had to go to Bari and then take a 16 hour ferry ride to Patras Greece, then a 4 hour train ride to Athens! YAY!!!
Oh P.s. Natalia and I almost got robbed (by "Natalia and I" I mean me). Scariest thing ever... I am pretty sure I could be happy never EVER going to Southern Italy again. I will save that story for when I get home. It isnt fun to think about. Its all good now though so no worries! We are truly be protected and continuously put in the paths of people who are kind and help us stay safe.
So onto Athens...
It is seriously the coolest place we've been... The only bad thing is that there is no way to see it all in 3 days... you know what that means? I HAVE to come back! Awful huh? haha! Today we went on a $5 tour around town with our KU friends (thats for you Casey) it is so neat seeing all of these old ruins. These guys that we met... Brodie & Brad are very good at being our protectors. We feel much safer especially since our encounter with the scary thief. They left today though to head to the island of Eos. So it looks like we are on our own again. Another bummer... we can't go to Sparta. I feel awful but its 153 miles away from Athens and we just don't have the time. I still found Casey something cool for his birthday though... can't wait to go buy it and bring it home, He'll love it!
P.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY!!! I love you very much and miss you like crazy! xoxo!!!
Anywho... we haven't gone to the Acroplys yet but we WILL be doing that. I apologize this post is so vague but what fun is it to tell you guys everything and then have nothing to talk about in 2.5 weeks?
Well I love you all... thanks for the comments and thanks for taking the time to read this boring entry! Talk to you again soon!

Hey Danielle,
Your posts aren't boring. I check every day to see if there's anything new. Oh, and about you going back, that's ok because you can take me with you. We could go see Les Miserables, see the Eifel Tower, and just repeat the whole trip over again. I can't wait to hear all about those stories too! Mom's wondering about those boys you met. Oh, I was riding Pistol the other day and decided to run him but he got excited and out of control. I couldn't stop him! It was really scary. I ended up having to jump in order to stop myself from being smashed into some cliffs up ahead. I was ok though. Just a few scratches and scrapes and a really sore back. It didn't really help my glasses too much either, but it did help mom finally decide to go and get me contacts. Woohoo! Well, LOVE YOU!!!
Your sister,
Breck
Your posts are great. I only have one problem with them-HELLO, how I am going to hear all the stories your not sharing on the blog. I love in the big WA remember?? Just kidding, well sort of at least. I figure you can do some excellent posts when you get home and the internet is free. Love you so much and enjoy every moment.

OOPS-While I do 'love' WA I meant to type 'live'. Oh well, sleep deprivation will do that to you.
