Last night, I heard the folks say that we didn't need to set an alarm. After all, there really wasn't anything to do today. This was exciting for me because I haven't slept in for a single day this trip. However, I was violently woken up at 730 by two parents, who had apparently gotten plenty of sleep. I was a little upset about this. I was so tired; I didn't even have an appetite for breakfast. It had the makings of a bad day.
After breakfast, we went to the Greek Agora. It was once a shopping arcade in ancient times. My legs were very sore. I was moving at the speed of the turtle here.
Then, we went to hike up a hill for another view of the acropolis. I was quite hungry at this point and nobody wanted to feed me. They're trying to kill me off on the last day.
We did a little bit of shopping in the afternoon including a visit to a leather sandal maker, which has made custom sandals for people like John Lennon, Jackie O., the Bidens, and Sarah Jessica Parker, or as my sister refers to her, "Sarica Jessica Parker: face like a foot." Then the 3 of us split a chicken sandwich at Goody's: the Greek equivalent of McDonald's.
After shopping and Goody's, the euros were running low. At this point, it was suggested that we simply get drinks for dinner. I protested as much as I could given my weakened condition, and eventually they agreed to feed me. We went to a cafe. I felt that thus far I have stuck faithfully to Greek food when we go out, but the thought of ordering another moussaka, or chicken souvlaki for the 15th time made my stomach turn. I think I earned the right to order a pizza. Tomorrow we leave Athens on an 11 hour flight to Toronto. Ugh. I'll bet there will be a lot of Canadians on board. The worst.
