DAY 8!!

hey guys!
yesterday we went to the acropolis and the parthenon! it was really hot and a long trek...kinda like hiking camelback which was NOT fun! but the sites were really cool. we also went to the olympic stadium where the olympics were held in 2004. apparently it is not in use at all anymore we were the only people there and it felt like we were in a post apoclyptic movie where everyone else was dead and there was just really nice buildings everywhere. we tried to break into one of the buildings but the doors were locked so it was a complete waste. athens night life is fun! they certainly know how to drink. i tried to order a shot of ouzo (which is their national drink) but instead i was given an entire glass of it. so it was basically like drinking vodka straight! we are off to take a ferry to italy now and then straight to munich for oktoberfest!
pictures will come soon when we have good internet that is not to slow!!
