I had three goals when I woke up this morning: eat, shop, and go to the beach. Free days are the absolute best! We went back to the same place that we had lunch with the crazy old man/owner. He is great and insisted he get a picture with us; I think we're his favorites! After that we shopped...nothing to complain about there. I finally got my Greece jersey (#18 my favorite player bahahaha), and then beach time! Oh yea, and a little day drinking. It was great. But the best thing of the whole day was the jerseys we bought; they were all little kids sizes. This meant it came with the WHOLE uniform, shorts and all. Soooo like the tacky Americans that we are, we decided to go full-out for the Greece-Germany game tonight and wear the whole thing. Best decision of my life. We were like celebrities! As we walked down the main waterfront street, people were high-fiving us, taking pictures, offering us free food....it was great! People loved us, and I have never gotten so much attention in my life. We were being obnoxiously loud as always and we pretty much ran off some Germans that were sitting behind us while we ate. It was great. The atmosphere around game time is already intense, but when Greece scored their first goal, I have never seen anything like it. We had left the restaurant we ate at to go back to the old man's taverna (of course he made room for us even though his restaurant was already over-crowded) and when Greece scored he basically tackled Lauren and I to the ground. I loved every bit of it, and the soccer players aren't half bad to look at either. Greece might not have won, but it is still one of the greatest nights of my life. Probably the closest to stardom I will ever get, and I will definitely take it!
