My Home Away From Home for a Month
by Cassp82
I lived in Volos at the Park Hotel for a month. Though I got a little bored with the same sites, the sunsets were always beautiful. And it snowed one day! I thought I would get away from snow in January by going to Greece... but I guess not!
At a farewell dinner with my group and Greek students we met. We ate at a really good restaraunt in Volos. It's a little dark but that's ok. From left to right are my friend Jen, my roommate Kathy and me.
"Olympic Soccer (football) Stadium"
We worked out a deal with the security to visit the Olympic stadium in Volos. They'd better get working on it in time for summer. We made a snowman... proof there's snow!
