I thought it was really surreal to see Greek writing. It paid off to be 'greek' with a small 'g', I was able to make out some of the letters and words! As I told my roommate, I should feel at home in Greece...after all, I am a sista : )
On our first night there I stopped a man who was passing us in the street.
"What's that?" I asked, pointing at a ginormous lighted mountain.
"...Acropolis??" he semi-replied/questioned back. (It must have been like asking what century we're in)
"Ohhh okay, just checking...I found it!" I exclaimed.
Yikes. What a tourist.
It must be so strange to be Athenian...to have the Acropolis and old civilisations in your backyard. Also, I was pretty excited to be on the south slope of the site--It's supposedly the place where Pablo gave his famous speech about the "unknown God"!
I wish I could imagine what it was like to be there amidst temples and togas. Instead there were cranes and construction workers putting the ancient stones back together.
Good food, though : )
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
