We've had a fine couple of days. Strolling around Athens, always keeping an eye out for the Acropolis. Yesterday we got up late (3pm!) and went to Lykavitos Hill and surveyed the land until sunset. Then, it was off to Plaka to find someplace for dinner. Lately we've been haunting this place we call the Watermelon, because the name in Greek looks like that word. Anyway, today we are going to the National Archaeological Museum. Tomorrow we'll tool around for a bit then head off to Cape Sounion to check out the Temple of Poseidon. Saturday is Epidaurus/Mycenae; Sunday is Delphi. Monday - back home. I'm hoping to get some more authentic Greek food at some point...By the way, Steph has actually eaten some Greek food which is quite a step forward from the box Mac & Cheese of late. See ya soon!
