We woke up at 6:00 a.m. today so we could get an early start on our first full day in Greece. Declan, T.J., Lauren, Brian, and I all went down and had a amazing breakfast of eggs, toast, bacon, waffles, pancakes, hash browns, and a native Greek drink of Turkish Coffee. After breakfast we left to snowboard the slopes of the Parnassos Mountains. We went snowboarding for a whopping nine hours. We were dead tired when we finally left the mountains. At the end of the day we met Jennifer Aniston, who's family is originally from Greece. We stopped to eat lunch at a small cafe at the bottom of the the Parnassos Mountains called Foibos. We all ordered one of their speciality drinks called, "frap pe me ga la, meh trio", which is an iced Nescafe with milk and sugar. It was one of the best drinks I have tasted in a long time. The drink was sweet with a hint of ginger. Then we made our way back to the slopes for a few more hours of boarding. After we were done snowboarding it took almost an hour to defrost ourselves. T.J. and Declan were being really wimps and complaining every couple of hours that it was to cold. Returning to the hotel we decided to go out and explore. The girls and the guys split-up and we went to get dinner on our own. Lauren and I went to Milkshop Klepsydra, which was a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Athens. Then we went back to the hotel and went straight to bed because we had to get up really early the next morning.
