Athens, Greece

Athens is the city I missed, so I really can’t go into a whole lot of detail. After I totally over-did-it in Santorini, we got the health facility to give me a note to get reimbursed for our Athens tour. Athens was the first day we had an actual scheduled tour that we paid money for ahead of time. Hubbin asked if I wanted him to stay with me but I told him I really wanted him to go on the tour so we could get the photos. I slept the whole day straight through until he came home. Hubbin was excited about seeing the Acropolis and the temple of Nike but overall didn’t like Athens. He said the city of Athens looked for all the world like Beirut. His funny story from the trip was when the tour guide was telling the group that Greece isn’t really like “My big fat greek wedding” not everyone is named Nick and not everything ends in “opolis” and Hubbin said “The joke was on him because right then we drove by a huge sign that said “Nickopolis”. Hubbin was adopted by a nice couple from Atlanta who we ended up also hanging out with in Monaco later on in the trip. We were about the age of their children so I think we filled a little homesickness-hole for them too. Hubbin did have wonderful iced coffees in Athens though and I had a very nice nap .
