Greece

Greece is GEORGOUS! We are staying on the little island of Corfu and it is so wonderful. Our hotel looks out onto the ocean which is a perfect shade of green. Sorry its taken me so long to blog. The internet here is extremley slow so it gets agravating trying to check my mail and blog. My apologies. Anyways we got here on tuesday and went walking to the beach. Then after we were done with that we ended up just resting most of the day since the trip over here was so tumoloutous. To get to Corfu we had to take a 5 hour train to Bari Italy from Roma which was not bad except it was a compartment train with six people in it. No body talked. So Danny and I spent 5 hours in complete silence. After that we had to figure out where the port was to get to Greece. Found that with relative ease then we got our tickets. Since we have Eurorail tickets we got free boat tickets which was cool. Only problem is they were deck seats so when we got on the boat we were shoved into lounge chairs one level above the bar. Around 10 we were trying to go to sleep when it happened. The lights dimmed and the music started blarring. We were on top of the discotech! arg needless to say we didn't sleep. At 5 in the morning we had to get off the boat at Ignosomthing Greece and get a ferry to Corfu. Not bad except everything was closed so we couldn't find out where the ferry was at. After an hour of walking in the rain we found it! And got here. But it was so worth it. Yesterday (Wensday) we rented four-wheelers with some americans from wisconsin (who love us since we went to Brett Farves college) which are street legal here and rode around for 7 hours. All the greeks would wave and smile at us.This place really is a little spot of heven. Oh and we get free greek food for supper every night which is SO delicous. The olives here are awesome and I didn't even like olives before this trip. Anywho thats about it for now. sorry about the delay.

P.S. In rome one night we sat down at a restraunt and started talking and these two women next to us asked where we were from, turns out they were also from Mississippi from Resovoir, which is in the Jackson area. They were here traveling around Rome for a week. Just thinking its a small small world.

I don't know how to say bye in greek yet so ciao.
