Yesterday it poured down rain here. Felt like a hurricane and we even had hail. For just a few minutes I felt like I was at home haha....good ole hurricane weather! So the rest of the day was nasty and cloudy and cold. THey had us scheduled to go to Cape Sounio which is on the ver tip of the Athens coast line. In the ancient days it was a very famous place to go and many pilgrims/tourists came here. It is the location of the Temple of Poseidon and one of the most famous places to go for a sunset. So we were all excited thinking that we were going to see this magnificent sunset.........well we were way wrong! Due to the rain and bad weather, it was very cloudy and the easiest way to put it is that the clouds ate our sunset. There wasnt much to see, a tad bit of a disappointment for us all.
After Cape Sounio we came back to the hotel and I was unbelievably excited for the rest of the night.....why? MY PARENTS WERE COMING!!!!
It had been a long day for them since they missed their connecting flight in Paris but after 30 hours of traveling they made it to Glyfada. I am soooo excited that they are here! Now they can taste a little piece of how my life has been the past 3 months. I'm going to try to show them everything.....the ice cream waffles, the shops, the Plaka in Athens, gyros and souflakis, the grocery store I go to, church, Mars Hill, possibly a real Cape Sounio sunset, an island tour, and the list goes on and on and on.....They have no idea what they are in store for! I probably wont post much since I'll be with them.
Miss everyone tons!
Enjoy.
