So for my fall break, I went to Barcelona, Athens, Paros, and the Sofitel Hotel because my flight home got cancelled and easyjet.com comped my 5 star room for 2 nights, including all meals. I've decided to just show pictures of the epic adventure with captions to save everyone the trouble of having to read what would be a post to rival the Iliad. Enjoy as I did...
