Athens

Edinburgh=17 degrees
Athens=34 degrees
MBC=glad she brought her water bottle to Europe

The Coordinatrix is back in North Carolina and I am in Athens with AJ. And my face is melting off. The food in Athens is an improvement over British fare. Yesterday we ate at a place where we sampled five different main dishes. A drink was included and we seriously distressed the waiter by requesting water for our drink. He came back to explain that we could have any drink at all more than once.

Because yesterday was a national holiday, our entrance to the Acropolis was free. The Greek gods smile on us.

Mary Beth - we were in Athens the exact same day a year ago and got in free too! Hooray for the Virgin Mary. Keep having a blast

You should have had a Coke or portaclata Blue (sp). That is what I had when we were Greece.
