Santorini

I got a job!!! I'm waitressing at a bar in downtown Perissa. I promote during the day, which means that I hand out fliers while I'm on the beach or doing whatever I'm doing during the day, then I show up at around 8 pm and stand at the door bringing people in until we get busy and I help wait tables. I get paid a flat fee every day, as long as I deliver and bring people in. Last night was my first night and all my hostel friends came to support me so I had a couple of large groups in there, along with some random people that I picked up off the street too. It went pretty well :) it's not exactly rocket science and it gives me a chance to talk to tons of people, so I'm happy (so far) doing it. I get paid in cash since I don't have a work visa, and they also give me a few drinks throughout the night. I'm going today to look at an apartment, they have tons of studios that you share with someone else and its only 10 euros a night. That way I'll have a fridge and it'll be my own little place. If things go well, I'll be here until the end of September working. Then I'll meet the family up in Munich and continue traveling after that! I've met some really cool people here that do the same thing that I'm doing, so I'm having a lot of fun! Plus it's nice to know that I can live off of what I make in a day, so my bank account will stay the same until I get to Munich. 

I'm headed off to the beach now, I'm going to lay out then walk around and meet some people, try to get them into the bar tonight :) 

I'll post pictures on facebook once I get a little apartment!
