Keep forgetting to post on WordPress instead of Facebook so have to do catch up.
Last day in Athens was by far our favorite day. We got back from a whirlwind too days in Hydra (not enough) and Delphi (just right) and were picked up by my friends Dennis (Dionysios really but after 35+years it’s hard to change) and his wonderful spouse Jim. They took us back to their lovely apartment to hang out for a bit, then on a personalized food and sites tour of the Plaza neighborhood, St Irene’s and Monostiriki.
Here are some pictures more to follow!

Pictures from the long and crazy evening. Very cool but an unexpectedly long adventure to get out there and see the play and to get back was 12 hours…

Athens is big and noisy and hot and wonderful. Having a blast just wandering around and people watching, shopping and site seeing. Today the Agora and then the National Archaeology museum. And lunch!

With excellent view of the Acropolis!

First glimpse!

Good train but so many stops. Also a girl with an accordion.

A 4:45 am alarm, a 5:15am taxi and our 7:40am flight is late. Did give us time for coffee and a breakfast at the airport but can’t help wishing for that extra half hour of sleep!
