Athens is awsome. And that's saying something because I was still recovering from the night before in england with Lambrini and was SO HUNGRY. Usually I'd be Debbie Downer but once I got my first taste of really Greek pita and saw the crazy lights of Athens, it was fantastic.
I guess it could be considered dirty for old people looking for an all inclusive but we loved staying so close to the Parthenon and our crazy little hostel with the most radiculous windy and steep stairs and how the streets are lined with orange trees and theirs kitties everywhere. Could i possibly be missing Pig? Doubtful. Poor Pig. Had the best shower ever and went to bed.
Nest morning we went on a walking tour. Eight euros and we covered some quality ground. Went to Zues's temple (might want to cut that down by an hour though wow it's not that cool, but totally worth seeing just not studying), Olympic stadium, a park with big turtles, Parliament (guards way more awsome than the British ones), some churches that you can't expose your shouders or knees in, which is kinda ironic because I would die of heat exhaustion if I were wearing anymore.
Anyways, we went to the Parthenon afterwards and got in free with my Capilano Student Card! We met two fellow British Columbians (Morah and Nikki) and hung out with them. Later on we tried Ouzo (not very much as I am still recovering) and went to bed to prepare for Mykono's
Erin Learned in Athens:
1. Mia Pita is the only Greek 'people like me' need
2. Keeping sunglasses unscratched and backpacking through Europe do not compliment each other.
3. Sending post cards is like sending invites to your birthday party: if you send out one you have to send 50
