    Winter has set in. We see snow on Mt Parnassos, and it's negative 2 deg. C just a few miles away inland. We are hugging the shore, where it stays much warmer. The bridge to the Peloponnese is nearby, and we'll visit the bridge's museum tomorrow. The first person to cross it was the Olympic torch runner before the 2004 Athens games. Should be fun.Les mer

    We've got a four room party house, next to the Metro 's last station. Wow, ths Athens tube excells for newness, quietness, lack of graffitti, employees on duty, seems safe, fast ride to the Acropolis. No broken escalators!
    The germans must have built it.
    There's a new museum called the Acropolis Museum . It has a life size replica of the top of the Parthenon, and they've taken all of the remaining friezes off the building and assembled them indoors, at a level where you can actually appreciate the art.
    For 2500 years people have damaged their necks trying to see the sculpture, way up there 80 ft high. Rubber necking , too, was invented here

    Kathy reached a snorkeling milestone during the last two weeks. She was able to learn breathing while using a snorkel, and avoid using the nose . It took the coaching of at least four people , as she had been in a habit for 20 years, of allowing water to go up hernose like it was a bird of paradise. Thanks Keith , you were one of those helping to break old habits. Today we took Kathy's snorkel apart , found that it had rough spots from the factory , smoothed off the jagged plastic , reassembled , and water tested . The silicon now seals perfectly . No more water leaking in.Les mer

    Had a very quiet day. We miss Keith and Connie , who left for Spain today. For dinner, we went to near the Melting Wok ...to a place called Sambal Matah, which sounds very spicy, but isn't thanks to the kitchen staff being cooperative. Wondeeful falafel inside a burrito tortilla. They even call it a burrito, but inside is herbs, zesty tsatziki, and pico de gallo. It caame together well. Kathy had duck meat . Mmmm. We love that street. Whatever its called.
    Got drenched driving home. Sudden heavy rain has come in the pm the last couple of days.
