20/09/2008 Greece: The Symposium Ends

Well, I have a cold, and I'm utterly exhausted, and yet I'm still up at 11:57 thinking about the past week. It has been absolutely incredible - hectic yet hilarious, exhilating and exhausting - and I had my fair share of work to do. But it paid off, I think almost everyone (if not everyone) enjoyed themselves, and we got to give everyone at least a small taste of Geology geology and life. I really hope I'll see the participants again - and some in particular. Maybe we'll meet again in Turkey...

Today was the day for goodbyes. Most left from Alatopetra first thing, and the last dregs of us returned to the Vourinos to see the crustal magma chamber at Asprokambos again. Yilderim, Emily, Kosta and Vagelis left from Athens after this, and, after two more stops, the rest of us had lunch in Siatista, in an amazing old mansion. A beautiful end to an amazing experience.
