15 October Greece
We ventured to Greece for a week. Tickets were cheap. Beaches were empty. It was the off season because school was in session for the majority of families. We left Cody at home with friends who came to house sit with him! Win for all of us.
Things we learned today:
- 6 AM flight…why…very little sleep the night before, tired children and parents in a foreign country
- Transavia airlines is GREEN
- Athens has marble curbs and marble sidewalks
- Marble sidewalks can be slick when it rains
- Our kids have not been educated enough about Greek civilization nor mythology to understand the importance of Athens …thus expressions of disappointment and tired sour attitudes
- The Acropolis Museum was creatively built over active archeological sites
- Marble statues, marble pictures, and clay pottery pieces told of Ancient Greek stories, while Lego bricks opened the curiosity of young minds to actively search for hidden figures within and connect ancient times to present reality.
And now a small commercial break for Airbnb’s……
- A nice Airbnb can be a very relaxing place to recharge life and phones
- Thank you Vasilis 26, Athina 118 51, Grèce
