Alana and Bryan Keith
Greek DancingWe were in Athens, Greece for the 2007 NESA Spring Educator's Conference at the end of March for 3 days of workshops and special speakers. Bryan was a teacher presenter, and the school paid for our hotel stay at the Intercontinental in return. Not a bad trade - 1 hour presenting for $800 in hotel bills! We spent some off-time at the Acropolis and the Plaka with some new (and old) friends, and finished off the weekend with a Gala dinner before heading to Turkey.

Plaka

Plaka shopping
That china is stacked piece on piece about 2 feet deep. I have NO idea how you could get out something you wanted to buy!
