Warm Saturday :)

Yesterday evening we had a gathering at our place and people started arriving around 10 pm and the last ones left around 2 am. It was nice hanging around and to get to know people who have already been in Athens since September or so. I also met some people who study at the same school as I, since most Erasmus people study economics or telecommunications or something like that. We also talked about our introduction week (all the other schools have already had theirs). :) 

+20-21C

In the morning my friend Xenofon picked me up with his car and we drove to the Lycavittos hill and the view was impressive. You could see the whole Athens and the mountains surrounding it. Xenofon also knew a lot of history and all the buildings so I really got a lot of information! :)

After Lycavittos we drove to the biggest mall in Athens, The Mall. :) There we just hang around and drank sodas and I went to buy a mask for me for tomorrows carnival in Patras.

Tomorrow is a whole day trip to Patras for the carnival which is one of the biggest in Europe! In the afternoon there is this parade and in the evening there is a burning of some floating carnival King and fireworks and then of course some party. The buses to Patras leave tomorrow morning at 7 am and we are coming back around 4-5 am.

Here is some more info and pictures about the anual carnival:
