ISRAEL IS BACK ON THE SCHEDULE!

WE FOUND OUT TODAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO ISRAEL!!!! WOO HOO! WE ALL YELLED AND SCREAMED AND JUMPED UP AND DOWN! IT IS A GREAT DAY!

Other than that...I AM WELL!! I AM COMPLETELY BACK TO MY NORMAL SELF WITHOUT ALL THE GROSS STUFF! AND THE UNBEARABLE CRAMPS THAT FELT LIKE MY INTESTINES WERE TANGLED INTO A HUGE KNOT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN SUCH PAIN. I FELT HORRIBLE. THE GREEKS SURE KNOW HOW TO GIVE A KID A TUMMY ACHE. BUT ALAS I AM WELL!

Today Meghan and Blake and I went to Athens. Blake is a very interesting Character. He seems different at first, but he is actually a wonderful funny guy! He was a great person to have with us in Athens today! I bought presents for everyone!!! They are great! and we ate gyros, and the guy that made mine flirted with me for the second time (cause it was the same place we went the first time we got gyros) but they were great. Then we went to buy sandals from the Poet shop. They are all hand made and wonderful! There are like 300 pairs. To say the least we were in there for forever. For one I can hardly make fast decision, for two Meghan is worse at making decisions than me. haha, and after spending like an hour in there she didn't get any. but she is going to sleep on it. I got some fantastic sandals! some for only 10euros. but after that we found this awesome little restaurant! we sat down in the tiny non smoking section. It was the most beautiful and romantic restaurant I have been in. Blake got a waffle with ice cream, and Meghan and I got a chocolate and strawberry crepe that was delicious! Oh it was so good! and ok Corey Mcentyre has this thing where he takes the menus from restaurants, he has hundreds. Some from all over the world. So I thought I had to bring Corey back a present from Greece, so we snuck one in our bag. I know I know mom it was probably not the most right thing to do, but hey you got to live a little! So I have a present for corey! It is a fabulous menu. It is leather. and the pages look really old. There is Greek and English in it, and it is really funny cause when they translated yogurt, they wrote yoghurt! hehe. We took a picture. We are such tourists. Oh well, they can already tell. It is strange somehow everyone knows we are Americans. It is like we have stamp on our foreheads that says AMERICANS! But it is funny because the older greek men are very nice to us. But anyways. I found some great stuff today! and now we are about to have lady tea time.

but first while i was sick, I went on a walk with a different group than I normally hang out with and I had a great time!

OH and Jodi I am reading Twilight! I am at the part where the tracker James has Bella's mom and Bella, Alice, and Jasper are headed to the airport!!! IT is a gripping part! I love it though! It took me a while though to get into it, but I love it now! and MAry beth has the second one here, and Meghan has the fourth one...maybe I can find the third somewhere! I love you! I got you something today...it is cool. I love you!

I love you all! I will write again soon. oh and I am going to a soccer game on sunday! It is the number one team vs. the number 4 team so it is suppose to be great! they are intense too. woo hoo! Today was a great day! I was in Athens all by myself. I felt adventurous!

haha good to know to never take mucinex...but do you feel better?? I finished Twilight... but I don't know if I am a Jacob or Edward because Jacob has only been like in 3 scenes..so I don't really know anything about him. but we will see! I think I am going to read angels and demons though before I start on the second one...change it up a little. Jodi you need not remind me about what to get you...I am a romantic I always remember that sort of stuff. I am pretty much always avaliable my time during the day and even at night...but I go to bed at like 11...and I dont have internet in my room...so. but if you could get on at like 11pm on friday night I will get up at 7 and we can skype! will that work?

Oh presents! Can't wait to see what you got everyone (especially me!!). I will try to let the menu thing go, just don't get arrested in Greece for stealing!! It would be a long trip over there to bail you out! haha I love hearing about all of your adventures. You make me laugh so often. I love you and miss you so much. It is wonderful to see that you are feeling better and are beginning to enjoy yourself.
