Okay, I have a problem. In the past two days I have went to Ble four times. FOUR TIMES! And we are going back again tonight after dinner. That will make five times in two days, four of those being today if you're keeping count. Granted I have only actually ate it twice today but still. For breakfast I had this chocolate stracciatella mousse thing that first off was too pretty to eat, but that really didn't stop me. Then for lunch we went back and had their pizza, which was amazing (potatoes and feta pizza...yum!) and then two little mini pastries. The first was a chocolate cookie bottom with chocolate mousse/frosting on top with a strawberry and the second was a vanilla cookie bottom with custard and fruit on top. Delicious! Then after dinner we went back and I got an apple pastry thing and this custard/fruit thing. I am in fat kid heaven. I even got more to take for the bus ride back to Athens tomorrow! Who knows if I will ever see that place again so I am stocking up! Anyway, after my awesome breakfast this morning we went and saw a couple Byzantine churches in Thessaloniki. Since it was Sunday there was a baptism going on in one of them, and it was cool to see a Greek Orthodox baptism. It was strange though because people were just coming and going during the ceremony to tour the church. Definitely something unique that I will probably never see again. It's still hot as hell here and after the churches we just went back to the hotel and relaxed in the air conditioning. Everything is pretty much closed because of the elections today, so it was nice to really not do anything for awhile. I even found some Fresh Prince and House in English on the television....always the little things! Dinner was good as usual. The area it was in was quaint and quite different from where our hotel is. Tomorrow we have a six hour drive back to Athens. Ugh. At least I will get a chance to nap on the bus. Our actual class is pretty much over, we are now just waiting to start the extension. So sad that it is almost over!
Oh by the way Happy Father's Day Dad! Miss you and love you! Hope you had a good day, wish I could have been there!
And these pictures are out of order and it is too much of a pain to change, so sorry. Deal with it.

The smurf cake that we wanted to steal for Katy. No significant value other than it is freaking adorable.
