Ναύπλιο

i have now accumulated three friends that enjoy following my life. this is exciting. i spent the last few days in Nafplio, Greece, which is a coastal town and is so beautiful. We climbed that ^^ YEAH, flippin 1000 steps. i forgot my camera connector so i stole that from the internet. i think it was an old military fortress/jail, but it had the most amazing views of the entire town and coast. i explored with destini, ella and natalia a lot, just around the town for the most part, ate some of the local food and whatnot. they took us out to eat one night and it was delicious and it was the first time i really ate out in greece so it was cool to try a lot of their food. we went out the first night to this cool bar, but a lot of our 50person group went so it was clear we were all annoying americans. the next night we went out to another bar that was hoppin and was loud but really fun for a while, until we sat in the vip-ish section where you had to buy a 90euro bottle. they let us stay because we're stupid, harmless americans and were dancing and having fun, until they stole their bottle of whisky and shit started going down, among other things. obviously i ran away so it didnt seem like i was associated with them, but when we came back we all danced and had a lovely time. we were supposed to meet at 12 today to leave and my one roommate and i woke up at 1145 when the cleaning lady walked into our room. just lovely..
i am now back and have found the perfect spot in my room for internet! success. tonight is natalia's 21st birthday so we are eating and celebrating and i am soexcited. birthdays are my absolute favorite.
also, i have officially made it one full week in greece. you all best be so proud and be sending me packages asap

dear erica

i have since slept more [barely], eaten more [a lot], and am less sickly! i was hoping to go OUT tonight but a gyro[gluten]+downing some sort of large iced coffee=disaster, and im still feeling the effects SIX hours later. but i have to wake up earlyish anyway so im hoping tomorrow night will be better.
today we went to massive open air market and i bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables for super low prices. i was pretty proud considering the only thing i'd learned to say after a 3 hour greek lesson was "good day". 'twas fun. i got a cell phone! call me biDDY. it'll probably cost you a shit ton, but that's okay cuz it'll be foFREe for me.
i met a girl on the plane who goes to school in Crete and made me scared for my life to be in Athens, but i'm loving it so far. i heard there was a lot of theft, but people are actually pretty nice and some man told me to close my purse for that reason. it's probably because im so good looking and stuff.
my head hurts.g'NIGHT
