This week has been hectic to say the least. Two of my roommates have been diagnosed with COVID, and with no quarantine housing, we are tiptoeing around the space. Despite all of this, we made the most of our week. We ordered the best meals for delivery, played card games, and went on our own excursion that would allow us to stay away from the crowds.
We visited the Temple of Poseidon – it was breathtaking. The sun was shining in the most beautiful way. It was a reminder of those looking down on me from above. The reassurance that I wasn’t alone in Greece couldn’t have come at a better time, and it made the rest of the week easier.
