Last day in Athens...

This is the blog that I wrote yesterday but had my internet connection turned off before I could save...thank god for autosave!!

And yes Nikia...you were my inspiration for blogging!

Good day my friends...

Well, it is our last day in Athens. This is Sunday right?? Last night was another incredible experience. We went to the highest point in Athens and watched the sun set. Got attacked by pigeons. And broke a glass. Overall, a success! It was really awesome though! After that, we walked around a bit in Paraka, I think that's what it's called, and then we found this curb side cafe and grabbed dinner. Anyone ever had octopus? Well, I did. Suckers, tentacles and all! Quite interesting I must say.

I don't remember if I have said this previously, but there are many "wild" dogs in Athens. The dogs roam around and are actually well fed. So you see a lot of dogs and cats everywhere and one in particular became very fond of our group. He came around at dinner, no one fed him, but he just laid there by our table. We got up to leave and he followed us the entire night! We were standing at a crossroad and some guy started coming up to cross the street as well, and Benny, that's his new name, charged at him barking! It was pretty funny, he's our new guardian in Athens. So we woke up this morning, chilled by the pool for a bit, and then when we went to have lunch, guess who was across the street, napping...Benny! So he went to lunch with us and is now just chillin outside waiting for the next adventure!

Well, I must go prepare myself for some Greek futbol tonight. The front desk lady gave us very specific rules to go by. #1...wear green, guess it's the home teams colors...#2...don't say ANYTHING! She was very adamant about that one. I guess there are a lot of "hooligans" as she put it. So in order for us not to get beat up, keep quiet, wear green, and don't use gate #13.
