Saving Euros and my Breakfast Discovery

Over the course of this trip I have spent quite a few Euros.

I have reached the point where I am trying to spend less than 5 Euros per day in an attempt to maximize my savings for the rest of this trip. I also need to find the bank that will not charge me ridiculous fees for withdrawing money from my American account, but that will wait until another day. For now, I am concerned with saving.

Luckily, I've found a place to get a delicious breakfast for only 2 Euro. On the way to Deree there is a little bakery that sells meat and cheese pies, pastries, bread, and a variety of other delicious morsels. One such morsel that I have discovered is two hotdogs baked into bread with (wait for it)....CHEESE. It's super delicious, and although it may not be the healthiest, I don't feel too bad about eating it because I burn a lot of calories walking here. Between trips to campus and down Iyouyannu for groceries/meals/etc I'm sure that I walk at least a couple of miles each day.

I'm actually really enjoying the exercise that I'm getting here, and I find it really nice to be able to walk to school and get a cheap breakfast on the way there. I also have a place that I stop at on the way back for a κοτοπουλο (kotopoulo or chicken) wrap that is less than 2 Euro. Hopefully I will get to know the owners better before the end of this trip, as I'm sure that I will be getting food their often.

Before you close out of the blog be sure to listen to this catchy Greek song that our language teacher showed us in class. Also be sure to appreciate the high quality of the music video.
