I have another crop of winged whimsy to share today. Belle and I completed recurrent training yesterday, which is essentially a day-long review of all the emergency procedures, drills, equipment operation, and medical training we completed back in Phoenix. You can expect a post about this soon, as well as one about my upcoming Final Probationary Meeting on the 11th. After this final meeting with our supervisors, I will finally be a full-fledged, legit flight attendant with all the rights and privileges of our union and rank. During probation, we were under constant supervision over how well we had learned our job, as well as our general performance (on time, thorough, etc). I'm proud to say I have had no negative feedback in the last 7 months (whoa, has it really been that long?!) and I anticipate making it through to that final meeting with flying colors (fingers crossed).
In the mean time, here's what I've been up to this last week.

We waited in line for around an hour to get these Gyro Pitas. They were absolutely worth it, but I didn't get to take a picture of our tasty food because I basically inhaled it when they handed it to me.[/caption][caption id="attachment_691" align="alignnone" width="642"]
There were these guys.....[/caption][caption id="attachment_693" align="alignnone" width="642"]
We went inside the beautiful Greek Orthodox Cathedral and enjoyed looking at the candles.[/caption][caption id="attachment_684" align="alignnone" width="642"]
It's the best time of the year! Starbucks pumpkin spice latte's are the first indication of Fall. Oh, how I've missed them![/caption][caption id="attachment_685" align="alignnone" width="642"]
This was in one of my hotel rooms. I can't decide if its a swan, a duck, or some kind of snake.[/caption][caption id="attachment_686" align="alignnone" width="642"]
