So Athens turned out to be an alright trip. It's not the most exciting city, but it does have some interesting bits. Like the Acropolis, not too shabby. I spent a day with three spaniards that I met from the hostel which was pretty fun. It was good practice hearing Spain spanish since it's the hardest form for me to understand. They got me up to speed on the Spain lingo, so I'm prepared. We went to the Acropolis, wandered around this small neighborhood that was the ultimate picture-esque quaint greek village on the side of a hill, and went out to dinner at a nifty place. Good times! Otherwise, I've just wandered to museums, eaten lots of pita with veggies (evidentally they consider a french fry a vegetable), and had some baklava. I did get out on a bus to the coast and saw the Aegean Sea and a temple, which was quite pretty.

The tour guide was not the most enthusiastic, but I'm finding that I'm liking the more "give you the facts straight" tour guides personally than the super enthusiastic ones. I almost feel like I can't trust the super-charismatic ones since I feel perhaps that they aren't as sincere with their sweetness. So I actually quite liked the old lady that just led us and said what needed to be said and was quite helpful if someone approached her for help, but wasn't aching for attention like I've seen with some. I guess that's how it is with most people-sometimes the most sincerest ones aren't the ones who need the spotlight.
