Chios!

Hey everyone!
Today were on the island of Chios, in the city of Chios in Greece. We got here yesterday night by ferry and experienced some culture on the boat! We encountered gypsys and they almost stole my purse and kelly's camera! yikeeess! It was the scariest thing that has happened to me in a long time. It was very sad though because when Kelly and I were looking through her pictures, Ally yelled our names and I looked over and saw this little boy, literally, 2 inches away from me. He was so scary! He was extremely quiet and I did not even hear him creep up. Ally said he had been there for awhile. He ran away once I grabbed for my purse though. That was quite a shock and my sense of security is GONE! At least for now anyway. Today in Chios, we got to see two old churches which was pretty cool and listen to 70's/80 music on the public bus on the way back to the town from the churches. We also almost missed the last bus going back to chios of the day after the churches! We ordered three pizzas from a restaurant with Gus as the owner. He was really great and spoke great english. The bus was scheduled to leave in 3 minutes after we received our 2 large pizzas. I ran down the hill with water in one hand and my pizza in the other while pizza was flying all over my white shirt. (That one will be thrown away mom. lol!)It was really fun and quite hecktic. I always say it's better to be rushed and have a story than not a story at all. Or maybe I just made that up.. not sure but it sounds good to me. Everyone in our group is getting sick and I feel soo bad for them. I really hope they feel better soon because I miss having our whole group. Tomorrow we will be leaving Chios and going to Samos! talk to you guys soon! love you all!
