Γεια σας!
Pronounced "yassas," this is both the most common Greek greeting and the most important word I learned. It can mean hello, goodbye, bless you, and more. So Γεια σας, and welcome to the blog I never thought I'd have, a summary of my months spent on the island of Rhodes!

Mythology at the Temple of Apollo

Today, Spiros decided to hold our mythology class at the Acropolis in Rhodes Town. The acropolis is situated (as expected) on top of a hill and overlooks the whole town. We walked around the entire complex and the accompanying museum. Spiros talked about the mythology associated with Rhodes (strong association with both Apollo and Helios). It was definitely cool to discuss Apollo while sitting near his actual temple; far better than learning in a classroom. After, we walked around the hilltops and were able to get great views of the Town from above:



This is where I live. So ridiculous. Also, can you find my hotel? (I'll give you a hint: it's the one with the pink circle around it). Oh, side note? I recently discovered that the northwestern side of the island borders the Aegean Sea and the Southeastern part of the island borders the Mediterranean Sea. How cool is that?! Overall, it was a great walk and a pretty awesome class!
