Eleven days into our trip and I am finally adjusting to the time change. Each day is progressively becoming harder and harder to wake up as our mornings typically involve waking up at 7:00 am.

“Finding light in a gloomy day”
As I woke up to my alarm this morning, the sound of drizzling rain and peaceful rumbles of thunder greeted me “good morning”. While this was a much different welcome into the day than the past sunny mornings here in Paros, there was something special about it. Even though rainy days can be rare here… Read more »
“Food Venture”
Today started with a rough morning. We were all ready around 9am to head to the quarry, an underground marble cave, when Professor Albert William informed us that our trip was canceled due to the weather.

“Productivity kicks in”
While most of the students slept in this morning (finally), the instructors, along with a couple students, were up bright and early to start on the foundation of our project. The interview with Yannos is critical to making this video. I spoke with Sheheryar this morning when he got back from the interview. He explained… Read more »
“An early morning in Greece”
Today was the earliest we have gotten up, or at least most of us. Thomas Lewis asked us yesterday if we wanted to do a morning hike up the side of a tall mountain in the distance. The majority of us agreed because we are quite a unique group of people. After struggling to wake… Read more »
“Getting Adjusted”
Hi Everyone, Today, we organized all of our equipment and started our pre-production for the documentary. We all had a bit of a late start adjusting to the time zone. We began with breakfast at Meltemi, a small restaurant right by the beach. Afterwards, we headed to our headquarters at the local music conservatory where… Read more »
