Part 3: Figuring out our Funk

         When we got back to Athens (after a much more peaceful ferry ride) we checked into our hostel and grabbed some food (Lea met up with us in Mykonos that day because she and her family had gone to Tinos for Easter).  It was now Easter Sunday and our hostel was going to Easter mass.  It was so interesting the way they do it.  They form a procession and move the service out of the church, everyone lights a candle and stands around the platform where the service is held facing the church.  It was really a treat to see.  For some reason all of us girls were in a funk.  We were all really pensive and it was obvious that we had heavy hearts for our own reasons.  Whe we went back to our hostel, Sandy and I were chilling with our roommate Chris.  He had a guitar and I asked to play it, next thing I know, Coral, Emily and their two roommates came in and Chris and I were going back and forth playing and singing.  It was a veritable campfire.  In spite of the fact that we didn’t sleep that well due to the freezingness of our hostel, we all were much better the next morning, we went to the beach and had such an amazing time just hanging out, laying around, listening to music, and of course laughing and singing.
