Still in Athens

Still in Athens

Still in Athens not doing too much. Today we caught another little toy train up to the Acropolis. (Of course, when I say toy train, I mean a little train that does indeed fit people inside). Very impressed with how it got us through some very narrow streets!! At the Acropolis we saw the Parthenon and a temple that I don't know the name of. I have to do some research. It's very difficult to know exactly what you're looking at when you don't have a guide to tell you or you haven't done your research!! After that we drove past (or choo-chooed past??) the President's house and the Botanic Gardens, and saw some HILARIOUS soldiers (although when I say soldier I think tough... these guys (they have a special name but I don't know what it is) wear DRESSES with POM POMS on their shoes and their marching looks like a ballet recital!! hahahahahahaha. When we get home you guys have to see the video. So so funny. Anyway we had gyros (like kebabs... but open and pronounced 'yi-ross') for lunch and are now ready for a siesta! We really haven't been doing too much of anything while we've been here... just wandering around, drinking Starbucks and playing cards on the roof which is really nice. We are leaving for our marathon plane ride tomorrow, and we're pretty excited to be coming home. Mum & Dad & Lissy - can you msg us to confirm that you'll be picking us up?? hehe. We are unsure of exactly when our flight will be getting in now due to all the terrorist attack stuff in London. Have you guys been hearing about it - I assume you have. Anyway, we have to fly back through Heathrow and the security level there has been elevated to 'critical' which is the highest... we're not sure if our flights are going to be delayed. Please pray for us, also, as we are not sure whether there will be any more attacks? Should be an interesting trip home! See you all soon.
