My place by the sea

So here is a photo tour of my life-for-six-weeks! This is the team, or part of it, seeing Samothrace for the first time. As you can tell, it was pretty windy on the ferry. Left to right you can see; Ryan, a Harvard architecture student; Eliza and Melissa, conservation students at my school; Cindy, my roommate, also an IFA student, and Genevieve looking out towards Samothrace as we approach. Here is the view from my room. Pretty nice! Here’s my hallway. I have to say, late night trips for water are beautiful, with the moon over the ocean and the breezes winding their way through the ‘hall.’ This is where we have ouzo hour – they serve ouzo, beer, and tasty fried Greek snacks every night before dinner. This is the view from the dinner table.

I landed in a pretty fine place, don’t you think?!?

Today, we had a tour of the site. I neglected to bring my camera I’m afraid. It was fascinating to walk through the site with archeologists. It can be so difficult to picture an ancient city or temple area as it would have looked when it was built, but with Professor McCredie and Professor Wescott, it suddenly came alive. I’ll give a description – and some photos! – tomorrow. Off to ouzo hour!
