Our last full day in Europe began with our presentation. Peter (our professor) said he was vey impressed with our work and we got an A! We headed down for breakfast and then out to the beach for a little while. We had planned to do some water sports but it was extremely windy on the beach; so we watched some wind surfers and then went by the pool to hang out.
After soaking up the sun for a little while we all went back to the room to get ready for an adventure in Old Town Rhodes. The taxi dropped us off outside the walls and we walked through a small flea market on our way to old town:
We arrived at the wall and I was shocked by how much it seemed like we were walking into a castle. I love ruins so I couldn't help but take tons of photos:
We wandered the little cobble stoned streets shopping, and enjoying the greek culture. There were tons of cats everywhere and every person we met was extremely warm and welcoming:
We were all getting a little bit tired so when we passed the little greek coffee shop called 'Angela Castle' we stopped in. This was the most adorable little coffee shop I've ever seen. We sat down in the small cozy courtyard and absorbed the atmosphere. I tried some traditional Greek coffee and it was very interesting. They put the grinds directly into the cup and just add hot water and sugar on top. Definitely not my favorite coffee of the trip but I'm glad I tried it.
After relaxing at Angela Castle we continued to walk around and collect some souvenirs. One of the shop owners gave us a recommendation for dinner so we decided to try it out. The staff at the restaurant was extremely nice and we had the best meal of our time in Greece:
We noticed a fish pedicure shop right next store to the restaurant. We had talked about getting a fish pedicure for a few days so it was like fate. We headed to the fish pedicure place and played with their adorable puppy, Rambo. Sam and I had no issues getting set up and letting the fist nibble on our feet. It felt a lot like e-stim at the chiropractors office. Cal on the other hand had a pretty hard time. She's extremely afraid of fish so of course I took a video of her freaking out:
After our fish pedicure adventure we walked around some more and happened upon a henna stand. We decided to get matching tattoos that said 'friends' in greek. I absolutely love how they turned out and the quality of the henna was amazing they came out super dark:
We got a taxi back to the hotel and took one last walk along the beach. It started to hit us that we were going to be leaving each other and it was very bitter sweet. I am so grateful for the amazing friendship that we have formed and it was weird to think that we would wake up and have to say goodbye. We went back to the room and packed then headed to sleep.
We had a great last day in Greece!
