Athens day 1

meg and i woke up at 800am. i did a jumping workout while meg got ready. at 9we went down for a traditional greek breakfast—poached eggs sausage stuff. i made an egg sandwich and had the greek yogurt plain but added jam—very tastey. meg and i then set out for the metro to the acropolis—oh this was after i got off the phone with the ferry people they may be striking tomrrow so no mykanos possibly—whatever! enjoy the day

we figured out the metro and got to the acropolis. walked around the parthenon and through some other ruins. its amazing every like feet there is someold piece of marble. oh—marble is very slippery too we both almost biffed it.

we then walked through brakka—the old downtown filled with shops. meg got a necklace and a ring with the greek live long eternity simbol on it. i got a murano glass necklace for 5 euro. we foud our way back to the metro then to our hotel. talked to the gentleman at the desk to see if the ferrys wewre going out tomorrow he said likely no.meg was angry because she wanted to spend the day on the water. the guy at the desk presented us with a private tour to three islands all day long. 99 euro. we ddecided to book that. called the hostel on mykanos and canceled that reservation tried calling ferry company to cancel that reservaton but we booked with third party so we may just be out 200$. if the ferrys dont go we get money back—if they do go we lose. its a gamble but oh well i guess when in athens!

now megan is doing a load of laundry in the tub and i finally got my netbook ooked up to the intenet. we are waiting for 730 a CS-er pol is meeting us here then taking us out to dinner. i will proobably experience some night life with him and megan will come back and go to sleep
