Have to be short again as paying for internet -
Here is a short update of the past few days.
1. We made it to the Singing in the Rain concert. We scoped out the location in the morning since I had had a few nightmares about not finding it and being lost in Athens. The show was supposed to start at 9 but we forgot about allowing for "Greek Time." Needless to say the show started at 9:20 and would have went to almost midnight....we ended up leaving before it was officailly finished so that we would be able to take the metro....
2. I had the best crepe of my life....chocolate and banana...mmmm
3. We are now on the bus tour. We have a 50 passenger bus with 11 people plus one guide. I am surpised they didn't cancel this tour. Four people are Australians, 2 are Hungarians, 2 are Americans, and one is Lybian but living in America. We are getting to know eachother quite well.
4. The tour guide is very good. The bus driver is a good driver but on the grumpy side. I saw him bring a coffee to go on the bus and went to get one myself. He made we throw it out....NO coffee on the bus. Now sure how he was allowed coffee and not me seeing his didn't have a lid and mine did but oh well.
5. We have seen the following sights: Corinth Canal...a canal built to link the Agean to the Ionian sea....amazing, Theatre of Epidaurus....amazing acoustics, anciet palace of Mycenae, the bee hive shaped tome of Agamemnon, Olympia....sight of the ancient Olympic games....interestingly the flame for the Winter Olympics was lit at Olympia yesterday! The country side is very scenic as well.
6. Tomorrow we go to Delphi and then we head to Kalambaka to see the monastaries the day after that.
We are both enjoying the tour....can't belive our time in Greece is almost up!
Oh....we also each bought a pair of Greek sandals....we met the man who made them and everything. Mine were not fitting properly so he took them apart and cut the leather so that they would fit to my feet perfectly! What service!
Well...we better go....internet time is precious!
