I just woke up to an accordian playing outside of my apartment...
I walked out onto my balcony to see what was going on... and find a man playing the accordian down on the street. I looked down to watch him and he looked up to find me staring. He said "good morning to me in Greek", smiled, and kept playing. I then looked up to a beautiful view of Athens. It gives me a different feeling every time. It's classic out.
A wonderful way to wake up I must say...Accordian music as the soundtrack to my morning? I'm definitely not complaining.
Kalimera everyone.

So I went back to the cute cafe that has a view of the Acropolis. Its called the "Center of Hellenic Tradition". Terrible name. But it's located on 59 Metropoleos St. in Plaka, if you guys ever have the chance to visit Greece.
It has some wicked awesome prints that are only five euros a piece. Greek prints, english prints, french prints, german prints, canadian prints, you name it. Vintage prints of ads that range everything from alcohol and cigarettes to flower shops to the olympics.
I bought three prints for my room next year. =) Haha I splurged a bit too much today on those prints. I also bought another necklace with a key on it. I think I'm obsessed with keys and lockets...
There were clouds today. Clouds. That never happens in Greece. Since I've been here, it hasn't rained once. It was so bizarre. Needless to say the sky was breathtaking at sunset. Looking out at Athens, with the Greek flag flying in the foreground on top of the school, and the sunset in the background... I wanted to find a word that captured the moment.... Found none and moved on with my thoughts. I think I like sunsets better than sunrises...but sometimes I enjoy sunrises more because I have a craving for tea or coffee.... Bitter and sweet.
Oh.. happened to also find this with Emily & Henry:
Just wanted to let you know I'm reading! Sounds like you're having a lovely time!
