The Greece trip brimmed with comical occurrences, a most notable one was as follows.
The drinking age in Greece is merely sixteen, so presumably many of my classmates got smashed come night time. It became rather evident, however, that the drunkenness was not limited only to students.
Not only was alcohol easily accessible to us, but so were cigars. Cam and his buddies took advantage of this luxury and smoked a couple in their hotel room during the free time granted to us. It was during this time that of course the teachers decided to do a room check, a check done before our designated bedtime to affirm that everything is orderly. Scrambling around in a quick attempt to disguise the offending aroma of cigar smoke, Cam raced into the bathroom, pretending to brush his teeth, and his buddies doused the room in body spray.
When the door was at last answered my band teacher, visibly drunk, stumbled into the room and accounted for all the boys. His face was crimson, further evidence that he had been drinking heavily. Cam emerged from the bathroom and my drunk teacher, in all his stumbling and slurring glory, conversed with him about the evening.
Teacher- So, what did you do this evening?
Cam- Well, I went to an ice cream parlour.
Teacher- An ice cream parlour?
Cam- Yes, an ice cream parlour.
Teacher- Was this the highlight of your night?
Cam- Yes, yes it was.
Teacher- Well that’s TRAAAAAAAAAGIC.
And with that the teacher staggered out of the room, leaving as abruptly as he had entered. The smoke still lingered in the room, an overwhelming stench to one entering from outside, but it apparently hadn’t phased my teacher in the slightest.
Luck, for once, was on Cam’s side.

HAHA! I when I noticed his face was red I should have responded to his question “What did you guys do tonight?”
Cam- “Nothing you didn’t” or, “same thing as you!”

I totally forgot that his face was red! I’m adding that in right now.

I saw him come into the lobby with some Heinikin cans through the lobby that should answer any suspicions.

But wasn’t that in Athens? Didn’t this instance occur in Delphi? Eh? Eh?
Me thinks he went out clubbin’ with the Greeks.

actually the time with me and the cigars occured on a different occasion the night when he said, “Well that’s tragic.” I guess it would be easier to sum it up in one story.

And he was slushed both times?

Yup.

Are teachers allowed to be intoxicated while he’s in charge of students under age in Canada? That should be grounds for a pink slip.

Probably not. But it made the trip that much more comical.

Cam- …Nothing you didn’t
