Efkhariso!

We landed in Athens on late Sunday afternoon, with just enough time to check into our Australian hostel and make it to the Acropolis. While looking at some piles of stones from 2 B.C. (whaaat?), we realized that we really should have titled this blog "Looking at Really Old Stuff." Anyway, the view of Athens from the Acropolis is fantastic, and it is unbelievable how far the tiny white buildings stretch as far as the eye can see...

We left for an early morning ferry ride to Paros, the closest Greek island that we could feasibly reach on our short trip to Greece. Four hours and a short bus trip later, we arrived at the Surfing Beach Village and got the keys to our beach hut (6 euros a night, people!). We spent some time laying on the beach and swimming in the insanely clear water, and took a night trip to the harbor town of Naoussa.

The next day, we rented an ATV (cooooool, especially for us) and drove around the small (paved) roads of the island. We even made it to the supermarket where they carried some kosher cheese (yes) and lots of vegetables. Gorgeous views, gorgeous landscape, gorgeous overall.

Back to Athens the following day, on another, though bumpier, ferry ride. We returned to Athens in time to walk around Plaka a bit more, view some graffiti, and make our 2:15 AM flight to Israel!

You'll hear from us when we're not eating our faces off,

Lili.
