Day 2- Walked all Over Athens


We accidently slept in this morning so had to cram a lot of sightseeing into 5 hours. Last night I was introduced to a fine Wilberforce tradition- Atavan. I therefore slept til after 11 and then had a heart attack. We went to the museum where mom tried to barter for a very large amphora for her backyard. It was only from 5300 BCE- she promised she would take care of it and it would make a fantastic fountain. Unfortunately they didn't budge.

We then hiked up the acropolis- soooo amazing!!! I took about a billion pics and was going nuts. Mom didn't seem to think the doric vs. ionic columns were the most interesting things ever- she was more intrigued with the amphora being used as flower pots (be afraid Ken).

We just had dinner and went to our gelato place- we're already regulars. We are now heading to bed to get a good nights sleep before we head down to the islands tomorrow
