New Car

We finally got our car! The volleyball team promised us a car when we got here, but it took a little while because apparently they were replacing the battery. Dimitrius, the team vice pres, said to call him about going to get it, so the next day, we called Dimitrius and met up with him down at Eyenet. He had just come from the gym. Surprisingly enough (because I never see people jogging or working out, not to mention people give me weird looks when I go jogging), he said he goes to the gym everyday. We wanted to check it out, so he took us up to his gym, which is called Home- imagine our confusion when he told us he was working out at Home. It was about a 10 minute drive and led us to a more rural part of Lamia. It was cool to get out of the city for a little bit. We got to the gym and waited for about 10 minutes, so a girl who spoke English could show us around. It was a really nice gym. The picture below shows the outdoor pool. The membership costs 50 euro per person, per month, so needless to say, we won't be joining haha. 

  

After we left the gym, we went to an auto shop to pick up our car...a super nice (not) ;) green Fiat Punto! The car is manual, as almost all cars are here, but both Rusty and I don't know how to drive manual. We practiced once with my dad, and Rusty was able to pick it up fairly quickly, but is still learning. We followed Dimitrius back to our apartment. Rusty was driving and he only stalled a couple times! We had to parallel park it on the street, which proved to be pretty difficult, so Dimitrius parked it for us and said, "tomorrow lessons" haha. 

The rest of our night was not too exciting...Rusty went to practice, I went for a walk around town, we went out for dinner, and then watched Revenge. Here are some more pics around town...

How Greek do these women look?!

This one is for you Kris- it's a school!
