Training Video

Chios

September 19th
Today we took a ferry to Chios. It took 6 hours. Mama and Beth got a coffee and I got a little taste. It was good. After a little bit we went to the panoramic lounge where we mad super intricate, super huge card castles. It was col because there were little platforms that were sticking out from the wall. They were one inch off the wall and the table was attached to the wall. When our time was up we went back to the eighth floor and played crazy eights. We asked if we could go again and they said yes. When we got there we divided the cards. I used up all my cards! While we were docking I was looking at Chios town. It looked small.

Yesterday I found something to do at the beach. In my journal I drew a picture of me riding the waves.

Today we went to Olympi. It was cool. We went through all these tiny little passage ways. We took turns choosing which way to go. They made the towns like mazes back then so that pirates would get trapped and couldn't get out. But we didn't have a map and we got out fine.

Today when I got up I had a bowl of honey nut cheerios and cinnamon toast. It was good. Shortly after I did math till lunch. Then we went to the beach and swam through each other's legs. I t was fun. Papa also threw me off his shoulders a couple of times.

Today was the third day in a row for sweet wave riding. We also threw rocks at a big rock to chip them.

My birthday

In the past week we've gone to Volissos a lot. There is a castle there with walls that look huge from the outside but on the inside the walls are as big as me! We've also gone to the bakery a lot and the supermarket too. All together at the bakery we've gotten 10 loaves of bread.

My birthday was great!!! I got presents from William, Daniel and Jordan, a card from Grandma and Grandpa and an email from Memere. I got tattoos, pokemon cards, a SpongeBob book and a hackeysack. Cody got me some gum and something Greeks use to keep their hands busy (I drew a picture of them in my journal - a string of beads that you twirl around in your hand.

Today there was a donkey that was making weird noises so we gave it some water and when it had its fill, it stopped. We gave it water twice, and the second time it drank water out of the bowl while we were holding it. I got to pet it on the head. It was really cute. Then Papa told me to wash my hands.
