I didn't do a whole lot this day. I just got up, had breakfast with them, and then decided that I was going to stay around the house all day and try to make sure I had the rest of my trip planned. This seemed important, because internet conditions would be uncertain for the immediate future.
When I got online I found out that I had gotten some positive responses from my CouchSearch requests and had hosts for both Athens and Thessaloniki! That added to my luck in finding a couch in Istanbul made me very happy indeed.
After finding out that the night bus I wanted to take from Corfu to Athens only departed on even numbered days, I had to move around my days in Athens and Thessaloniki, but that ended up working out even better for my hosts.
I had lunch with Lubna and her grandparents. And then Lubna was worried about how she hadn't packed anything for her trip to Milan. The plane was going to leave early the next morning. We both took a break, and went to a mall (more or less) near her house that I had never been to. I got a stamp and mailed a postcard to Nefi. Laren hadn't ever told me or Emily his address, so he didn't get one :P Lubna looked for some shoes, but didn't find anything she liked.
That evening we all ate together and then took group pictures. Lubna, me, and the grandparents; Francesca, Lubna, and the grandparents; Francesca, Lubna, and I; and just Lubna and I. Those pictures are up in the 'Rome II' album on Picasa.
We all went to bed fairly early, sometime between 11pm and midnight, since we had to get up very early the next morning...
