American, Philippino, French and Greek!

Well, yesterday and today were very multicultural days in Athens. Yesterday (Sunday) was probably my favorite day so far actually. It started with a trip to Starbucks with Marta (my wonderful roommate). It was like a little piece of home here in Athens:) Sadly my coffee was super bitter, but time with the Lord was wonderful. I will frequent that place often.

We then headed to church-an international church lead by an American pastor. There were a little over 100 people probably and lots of people from the Philippines. It was so great actaully and so different from the 98% white middle-class american mega churches I am used to. At the fellowship had we at the most amazing rice cake pastries...seriously, I wanted to take the box home. So...if anyone knows a recipe for those, please send it my way!!

Today was a lot of planning with a little guitar hero thrown in :) We also had "salty" crepes for lunch and a "sweet" crepe for dessert...it felt very french.

I am looking forward to learning more about this culture and all the other ones that are mixed in here! Language class starts in a couple weeks, so I'll be including some Greek words soon!

Well, it is POURING down rain here and I have to make the treck up to my apartment to watch the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (I thought it was appropriate)...Good night for now!
