Yesterday was a sea day. We slept in, then went for a soak in the hot tub. Liam and Ty played in the regular pool, but it was too cold for Bill and I. But Bill did come in the hot tub with me even though he whined about the wind on deck.

We went to the dining room for lunch as they were having a grand buffet brunch in there. It was good, even though Ty could not find much to eat.

The kids went to the kids club in the afternoon and Bill and I just hung around.

We went for dinner in the dining room and it was good as always and then the adults hit the shops while the kids were in Adventure Ocean. I bought a chain for my new cartouche and it should be ready for pick up tonight.

Today we were in Athens, Greece. We arrived at the port at 7:00 am. By 8:00 am we were pier side to catch our taxi to meet up with our tour. We had a tour booked with Athens Walking Tours to see the Acropolis. We saw that and the parliament buildings and the changing of the guard, and the temple of Hepheseus. Then we strolled along in the Plaka and had gyros for lunch. (Ty had fries) We took the metro back to the port for only 1/10th of the cost of a taxi. Always interesting when you don’t speak the language and can’t read most of the signs, but it was easy.

Well, gotta go get ready for dinner. Talk to you tomorrow.

Toronto Maple Leafs
Hi everyone Sounds like your all having a great time. Love looking at the pictures. Do not believe anything Gloria said about the camel. We do not have the room!!!!! This part of the message is for Bill. The Toronto Maple Leafs have just fired Paul Maurice and are having a conference about this at 3 today. I will try to watch and keep you updated. Everyone is curious about letting him go before they have a GM. But the announcer said that when the new GM is hired, he will probably bring in his own coach. They also said that this way Paul Maurice can look for a new job before the season starts---good luck with that! Cannot wait to see you all---enjoy the rest of the trip. Love Nana
