A Magical Journey to the Plaka, Athens |
So much for the Acropolis and the Museum. We went for a stroll hoping to find the Adams Hotel. I say hoping with good reason - the streets here are like a maze, and the Plaka is fascinating. After hours (and miles) of walking,
it turns out that it's just around the corner!Oh well, we met a waiter from La Castille (small world (Toronto)) and ended up on
his patio drinking beer and ouzo, eating menzedes - ALL afternoon. We wrote many a postcard, had many a laugh, and
decided there was no place we'd rather be. After a lengthy nap (christ, it's after 11:00!) we go out for dinner. More owls eyes for Jane and souvlaki in
another square. Virtually everyone here is incredibly nice.
Back at the hotel, we look at the illuminated Acropolis from our open window and sleep to the sounds of Greek singing
and dancing down below. Tomorrow we're up bright and early - our four day tour begins. For now, I shall say Kalispera!
