Athens

hi everyone!  we had a little detour today.  we were supposed to go to delos, greece and then to mykonos, greece but when we arrived in delos this morning the water was too rough to take the tender boats to the town.  so they diverted us straight to athens, greece and we are overnighting here!  our first overnight adventure!  we arrived in athens and of course lauren and i found a taxi and headed straight to a beach.  i know, shocker!  it had gorgeous clear blue water and was just amazing.  now we are using the free internet in the port right by where our boat is docked.

yesterday, we had a tour in kusadasi, turkey.  we went to see ephesus and the terrace houses there.  google ephesus, it's amazing!  it's also HOT!  lauren and i were sweating so badly and had to take funny pictures of ourselves looking so gross.  can't wait to show them to you, we look just lovely!  

for dinner we went to our normal buffet of all you can eat sushi, steak, lamb, shrimp, pasta, desserts, etc.  they say that a normal person gains 1-2 pounds per day.  how can that be?!?!  j/k!  we actually have been trying to exercise a lot so that doesn't happen to us.  

besides eating, we went to the spa yesterday and had an amazing massage!  we really weren't productive after that!  but we needed it after all the walking and climbing we've been doing recently.  so now we're rejuvenated and ready to climb the acropolis tomorrow morning!  200 stairs compared to 600 in santorini should be CAKE!  although it is up and not down!

oh and one more thing, lauren won at BINGO this morning!!  she won 82 dollars, YAY!!!!  go lauren!

Ummm, how can something be clear and blue and that same time? :-)

Are you allowed to flush the toilet paper in Athens these days? You couldn't do that a while back.

Hi from Susie, Jacques, Tom and Gloria from Connecticut. we came for a couple of days, Jacques and I went mushrooming this morning. It's raining here, I'm not used to that. I'm so glad that you are having such a great time, are you taking any tours?
