Dinner and an Evening Swim

Oh, what a day in Athens! After our inspiring visit to the Acropolis, we nestled into a charming outdoor restaurant in Plaka, also known as "The Neighborhood of the Gods." Between the picturesque cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and vibrant eateries, it's hard not to fall in love with this part of town. Dinner was wonderful and we were treated to ice cream for dessert!

The journey back to our hotel was a unique experience. All 46 of us managed to fit onto a city bus! It was a short ride but gave us a taste of Athenian daily life. Certainly a cultural experience!

Even after a day with a lot of walking in the warm sun, the kids still had energy to spare, so a large group of us headed to the beach for an evening swim in the Saronic Gulf, part of the Aegean Sea.

At 68 degrees, it was not quite as warm as the kids expected, but that didn't dampen the fun!

By the time we got everyone settled into their rooms, they were finally ready to call it a day. Let's just say the chaperones were more than ready for some rest too! 🤣

Here's to another day of adventures tomorrow. Goodnight from Athens, everyone!Read more
