The next morning we had a Greek lesson with the owner of the apartment we were staying at. Now we are armed with the basic words to get by. Jackson has the alphabet down, so he can read all the signs.
Then it was off to meet our guide, Stella, at the Acropolis for an evening tour. She suggested this time as a cooler, less crowded experience, and we were really happy we didn’t have to get up early to meet her!
She was wonderful! She chose some stories about Athena and the founding of the city to focus on and showed the kids how they all came together. She had fun activities prepared for the boys, and we all learned a lot. I realized that I also get overwhelmed with a tour around a site like that, and I really enjoyed her presentation of the history. Sam and I could ask questions, and got so much out of it. We will definitely use her next year.
Frozen Greek yogurt! It’s everywhere in Athens, we were happy to see! Jackson was able to order a yogurt-free smoothie.
