Yassu means hello in Greek, as far as I know.
Well, things are good and I am in Lesbos at the moment, although getting here was a bit difficult. Anna and I arrived in Athens and found grandpa almost immediately. However, when we went to check into our plane from Athens to Lesbos, it turns out that they had canceled the flight without telling grandpa. Luckily, we rescheduled the flight for the next day, and grandpa had a friend in Athen whom we could stay with. So, we took the metro into Athens and spent the night at Moona's apartment. The next day we woke up at three in the morning, and took the flight to Lesbos. When we got to Lesbos, there was supposed to be a rental car waiting for us in the parking lot, so that we could drive to the city in which we were staying. We searched the entire parking lot, but the car wasn't there. Finally, after phone calls it turns out that the rental place had taken back the car, since we didnt arrive on time. So then we had to wait another hour for the rental service to bring back the car. Finally, we got on the road and headed towards Aerossos, the city where we are staying. A meditation center in which grandpa teaches is located here.
The city is gorgeous - it's all mountains and white houses with red tiled roofs, right next to the sea. The meditation center where we are staying is pretty too. Most people stay outside in tents and cabins, but there are some guest houses as well. Anna and I have our room and our own bathroom - a luxury here. Meals are served outside, and all meals are vegitarian. Yesterday, grandpa and I rented scooters so that we could drive around the town. Without them, it is about 30 minutes from the meditation center to the beach or to downtown. Anna is learning how to drive a scooter too, but I think she is a bit nervous about it. The beach is pretty but rocky. Tomorrow we shall go to one that has more sand. Apparently it is "bathing suit optional" there.... I think I shall keep mine on.
More updates later.

Woooo! You made it and sounds like you're having a blast. I've been thinking about you scootering by the sea. Be sure to try some skordalia and souvlaki. Love you sweetpea,
Mom
