Anais

Considering I just finished writing a daily update and considering Iām sitting in Syntagma listening to Greek pop music and considering I am still to remain in the country for several weeks, a sense of closure is going to be hard to produce in these pages. I have been realizing, however, that being in Greece without the 15 people with whom Iāve spent every waking moment (·or sleeping moment for that matter) over the last tow months is going to be a vastly different experience. For most people on this trip, I think itās become pretty obvious that I place huge focus on those around me, and this has been a very intense exercise in group dynamics. In addition, it is amazing that Iāve shared such an experience with such a group. Nearly a hundred sites later, and I know that mention of Lato on Crete will still bring up images of crawling through sheep fences to reach the acropolis·. Itāll be strange to readjust and try to explain to my family and friends why Ani, Liz, and I were breathless after our first glimpse of the Erechtheion. ·And, of course, looking back on my usual Dartmouth term that involves the physical space between my dorm, Collis, and Baker-Berry, I canāt yet really fathom everything Iāve taken in.
