Malta, Week 12.5
Boy, do we love Greece! I’m not sure what we were expecting…I guess our expectations were low and our knowledge pretty limited. The people, sights, sounds (live music everywhere), smells (bitter orange trees in bloom everywhere that smell like lilac)—what a wonderful country!
We said goodbye to Naufplio and headed back to Athens. Our final official outing was a visit to the Greek Parliament, which provided us with a short but fascinating look inside the workings of the government. Our tour guides bid us a fond farewell with a lovely group dinner, and then the next morning, we all went our separate ways—the four of us and two students returned to Malta, while the other 10 students flew to other destinations in Europe for the second week of their spring break.

I’m glad you loved Greece. We felt the same way – not expecting much but loving it. We spent Easter Sunday in Athens hiking up Mt. Lycabettus and then having lunch at a restaurant where they were smashing plates on the ground and dancing to music. It was so memorable!
