Almost a week and a half has passed since we arrived here in Paros. Since that time we have worked steadily on our projects, making progress on them one day at a time. Although we were mostly strangers at the beginning of this trip, we have started to get to know each other and have grown to work together as a team. We have worked a little bit each day (with the occasional spelunking or sightseeing trip), getting closer to completing our projects.
Although I suspect most of us were aware of what we were getting into, when we leave I have no doubt we will be much more knowledgeable about Paros and the Greek culture.
As we work towards completing our projects in the next couple of weeks, this weekend we get to enjoy three days off which we can do with as we please. As for me, I will be spending that time enjoying and relaxing on Mykonos and Santorini with Kate, Fei, Tiffani, and Jacob before returning to Paros on Tuesday to continue with our projects. This should give us time to relax, but also to experience a bit more that Greece has to offer.
