In just a little while we are headed on our Greek island cruise. We just did 3 days of touring in and around Athens. Friday was Athens, Saturaday Argolis and Sunday in Delphi. We are all still on jet lag, working on fabulous tans, walking our legs off like never before and sweating buckets at a time... All in a good day's fun in Greece.
Saturday was my birthday. The tour guide had the waiters at the restaurant where we had lunch make a last minute birthday cake... which was pretty much a bunch of slices put on a plate and covered in whip cream. It actually was pretty good. I must also say it was the first time that I had happy birthday sung to me in English, Spanish, Italian and Greek. Quite interesting. After the tour, the family went out to the top of the highest hill in Athens (Lycabbetos Hill - or something like that) - hung out and got some awesome views of the city.
Yesterday I think was the hottest day so far. We were real lucky to come to Greece just as a heat wave moved in. So it's been an extra 10 degrees hotter or so. People say that since we're from AZ we should be used to it, especially since it's not so humid... but here's the thing, when it's this hot in AZ no one ever goes out... right? And if you do, you're in some A/C-ed place in like 10 sec... none of this hiking and walking around for a couple hours at a time. hahaha. oh well, the places we've seen have been worth it.
Ok, that's it for now, I've got to go finish packing before they pick us up for our cruise!!
Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday!
Miss you all!!
