Ain't No Party Like a Mustache Party!!!!

Sometimes when faced with the daunting task of endless days of computer programming and strikes that occur at random times one needs a little extra strength. Desperate times call for desperate measures and those of us in the MEEES program have tapped into the ancient and tribal power of the group mustache. While normally we all look amazing I think the growth of our facial hair has really added increased our looks, in both beauty and quantity of jaw dropping stares.



Last night we decided it was time to unchain our staches from the safety of the university and show them to the world. Like most nights we started with a little get together in Gary's apartment. This tradition began as a way to pass the time from dinner until about 12 which is the earliest anyone ever goes out in Greece. Upon arrival I was greeted by the most beautiful site I have seen since my arrival in Greece, two ladies with perfectly trimmed handlebar mustaches! I could tell this was going to be a good night. We hung out for a while telling jokes, most of which got lost in translation and added to the laughter. Then it was off to the marble sidewalks of downtown Patra. Most of the bars in Patra are crammed into little alleys making for a really cool atmosphere. There is always dance music playing which is mostly a mix of Greek and American pop. We all had a great time dancing around, not smoking, and smiling, which was in great contrast to the always cool and straight faced Greeks. When the bar closed we headed to get what I have come to believe is the best late night snack ever invented the pork gyro! I fell asleep that night with a full belly and a smile on my face that I know was only accentuated by my mustachstic facial hair.
