There really is a Black Friday here; we’ve seen signs all over Athens. But I’m not sure people are shopping any more than they usually do as today is another workday.
We’re having a quiet day as Peter didn’t want to go out. It’s a bit chilly, low 50s but very windy. He has no upper body muscle/fat to help keep him warm, so even in his jacket he gets very cold. I went out for a while as I wanted to get some better pictures of the Acropolis. I headed out in the general direction and managed to higher on the hill than we were last Saturday. So, I got some nice shots.
I also took a short video at an overlook I found. It’s a bit jiggly as it was very windy, but I think you can still see the pretty view.
But just in case my poor camera work made you seasick, here’s a couple still photos.
I came home through the market area and found a couple of interesting windows.
I’ve been looking everywhere for the pastry we had in Delphi, filled with the cream, but have had no luck. These looked good, though.
The market is a rabbit warren group of streets just a few blocks from the flat. I finally figured out how to get there quickly, but now it’s about time to leave so I don’t think I’ll head back there again unless we go there tomorrow for lunch.
It’s only 1pm but I think I’m in for the day. I don’t like to leave Peter for too long and there’s really nothing else I want to see. Tonight, I’ll do one last load of laundry so it has time to dry before I pack tomorrow. We may go out to lunch tomorrow, but other than that I think we’ll stay close to home. Peter hates it when I have to struggle at the curbs.
So, unless something happens tomorrow, this will probably be my last post until we get to Istanbul. We land around 10:30AM and should be settled in the hotel by noon or shortly after. Not sure what we’re going to do in the afternoon as I don’t know what will be open on Sunday. At the very least we’ll find someplace for lunch. Have a wonderful weekend and you’ll hear from us again soon.
