Joseph-- hey guys! sorry we haven't blogged in a while. Athens was a lot of fun! we got to see all the big sites; acropolis, churches, museums, which were all free due to our isic card. the best part was getting lost In the city! we saw the after effects of the riots, and saw the beginning of another one. We got to stay at Hotel Phadera (thanks to mr and mrs moden's generosity) and save some of our own money :) The hotel had a great location, and got to see a wedding combined with a baptizing in the Byzantine church in front of the hotel. Mickey didn't feel that great our 3 days in Athens but after a good nights sleep and the beach she has been doing great!
Mickey-- So Joseph stole everything good to say... but I have some details :) Phaedra was great and Joseph was obsessed with the man who owned it - a little old man who could hardly speak english, Joseph wanted to "steal him and keep him in my pocket" :) Getting lost roaming Athens was definitely the best experience! We found a market full of fruit vendors and fish and butchers and stocked up on fruit. Joseph got a fresh sausage-thing sandwich straight from the butchers every time we passed by (it was only 1 euro). The Greek wedding was fun to creep on, they had a lot of cool traditions - like tying the bride and groom together with string while the priest spoke. We also passed the parliament building a few times, the entire front is full of tents and picnic tables where the protestors are staking out with their signs hanging everywhere. (cool.) :)))
