Today our final destination was Athens, but man, did we have
a good time en route! We picked up our delightful local guide, Sofia, and
headed to Epidaurus to see the amazingly well-preserved Greek theatre. We were the first tour group there this
morning, which was glorious, and we were able to do the coolest sound test.
Next, we headed to Mycenae to see the citadel & the
famous lion’s gate. The views were spectacular
from up that high! We then headed across the street to see the Treasure of
Atreus and the ‘orbs.’
After lunch, we headed to a pottery class. The kids were able to make a clay figurine
and do some shopping.
Our last stop of the day was the Corinth Canal. We drove over it, but luckily parked the bus
and walked back to the bridge to look at it. Standing up on the bridge looking
down was a bit scary and awesome all at the same time.
Checked into our hotel, which is about a block from the
beach, and got ready for the evening’s entertainment: Greek Night!! It was in the Plaka district in
Athens and was loads of fun! Had some
common Greek appetizers, Kebabs, and some yummy deserts! Then the dancing & singing began! The
kids got up & danced – super cool watching them join in the fun!! Opa!!
Tomorrow is our last day… L We've got another great day planned, so stay
tuned for tomorrow night’s update & then be prepared to get us on Sunday
night. Thanks to all who comment – the kids
love seeing comments from loved ones… me too!!
Kalispera!
