Hi Students!
So I finally got my itinerary for Greece! I will be arriving June 1st in Athens and that same day will get to see the Acropolis! :) I'm very excited. It also looks like I'll be going to many different types of restaurants in Greece, so for all of you who asked about the food in Greece...I'll make sure I post pictures so you can see what authentic Greek food looks like.
Besides walking around Athens, it sounds like our trip is going to focus on the archeology and history of the country, which is wonderful because I'll be able to pass on a lot of mythology information to you (the student experts!).
In my last post I said that I would be going to Olympia and it looks like I will not only be traveling to the home of the Olympics, but stay for several days in the city: visiting musuems and sites. Maybe I'll see some of the colleseums for Joseph??? :)
I will be out in the country as well and see some traditional villages and dress, so I'll make sure to post pictures when I get there around June 10th!
While I'm excited, I'm also really nervous though. I've never been away from home for more than a month at a time and this is about five and a half weeks. My packing list includes a swim suit, though, so I'm hoping I'll get to swim in the Mediterreanean Sea (I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly...I'll check back). I will also need to switch my money over to Euros. It seems like I have so much to do before I leave and that gets me nervous! Wish me safe travels and good luck. I hope you write and look up on this blog to see how I'm doing as well...keep me company as I travel around the countries.
Cheers,
Ms. Gartland

Rafal -- I will definitely not forget about the soccer stuff! I'll remember to ask and take pictures for you!
Berenice -- I hardly know who Bow Wow is...so I'll make sure to ask this question to someone younger than me :)
Wojciech -- I do think you should get extra credit! Look how smart you are!
Maria -- Great idea about the candy! I will do that....unfortunately if you don't see me next year you won't get any...so come stop by my room and say hi when you're an upper-classman!
Laura -- At the moment the Euro is $1.55 of an American dollar...so I'll be spending a lot of money when I'm in Europe. I'm not sure about the Lev though (the currency in Bulgaria).
Great question Zoila. I'll see if I can find out!
HOPE YOU HAVE A FUN TIME! ONE THING THAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT IS THE SIZE AND POPULATION OF GREECE?
-VERONICA C.
Hey Ms. Gartland!
Those are some cool pictures of your students.
Bet you can't wait until Sunday. I'm jealous.
Look forward to hearing about your travels, viewing the pictures you post.
Had the faculty/student soccer game today after school. Josh Kerr and Dennis Munoz led us to victory (around 9 - 7). I got a black eye in the process!

Hi Ms. Gartland
So yesterday was graduation and it was awesome. McKay did a good job with the reading of the names. It's too bad that you couldn't make it, but Greece is an amazing offer. Thanks for everything, I'll catch around Prosser one day.
Have Fun...
