Hello all! Yesterday was a complete whirlwind of events. I don’t have much time to write a post so please excuse my brevity. We started off the day getting up early to climb the acropolis and see the parthenon to beat the heat. Then we all ate lunch together and the food was AMAZING. We strolled through the plaka (the historical shopping area) and then the central downtown area (more modern shopping). We finished the day eating gyros in the park and checking out the greek night life. I continue to be blown away by how nice everyone constantly is and how willing people are to help us out. We even made a few friends last night who were from London and were spending their “holiday” sailing around the Greek islands. I’ll leave the rest to the pictures!
