HELLO. Katherine and I are currently sitting at "Klik Cafe," a cafe/waffle place that is designed in a really snazzy, over the top fashion but that has few customers (like many of these restaurants here in Chora, they all have SO MUCH seating, that even if there are some people there it always looks empty). We bought a banana and nutella waffle to earn our free internet access and now we have been lingering for around two hours.

Last night was my first time on the moped this year. The first minute was kind of horrifying but after that it was pretty awesome.
Today we didn't get up till around noon and had a breakfast consisting of many parts (Greek yogurt + strawberries + corn flakes, eggs, and lots of Chocapic cereal on its own). It was sooo hot. So. Hot. Though spending the early afternoon at the house still beat being out in the blaring hot sun.

We took the 2:20 bus, but went to the taverna 25 minutes early to buy bus tickets and chill in the breezy outdoor area and drink frappes. This turned out to be an excellent idea as we got to chat with one of Cula's friends—Ekatarina—who was nine and spoke some english, and we also got to watch Valadi (also 9ish) smash open an old meat grinder with a hammer.

We went to Plaka beach again today, except this time we had a floaty tube, which proved to be the ultimate luxury and I basically played dead for three hours in the ocean, it was awesome.

This weekend we are renting a car and are going to drive around the other coasts of the island as well as through the mountainy part (well, my dad will do the driving, obviously). I am guessing this will be the best part of the trip, as we'll get to see the most beautiful and sparsely populated beaches, and lots of other gems you can't reach by bus with ease.

Okay, gotta go!
