All Hail ATHENA!! Athens...home of the Olympics, cool breezes, evil eyes, and bricks of Feta cheese(the cheese is stuck in everyones stomach)!

1) Harvey had to fabreeze the room because it was so funky fresh. He wanted to fabreeze the entire hotel, but didn’t know how to ask permission in Greek.
2) It was so hot in the room that Karen had to sleep with no bed sheet. Clare was sleeping comfortably with a blanket only one inch away from Karen’s bed.
3) We are living in a residential neighborhood with nothing to do, as evidenced by the chaperones walk around the hotel for one hour! They came back with nothing and no new information. After dinner some of us took a metro into town. Everyone else stayed at the hotel to watch Pretty Woman. Brent stayed back to do laundry…we don’t want him smelling up the 767 on the way home.
4) At dinner Paola, introduced the menu by listing each item by name and a “it has no cheese” post script. She was adamant that each item had no cheese. THANK GOD IN HEAVEN!! Clare picked out our table so that we could be close to regular people. Regular people are people who are not on this tour. Also, at dinner Brent did his impression of Paola for Paola. She loved it!
5) A parent wanted to know if we were in Senorita Square. Senorita Square was also one of her landmarks in Florence. No where on this trip, or in any of these countries has their been a Senorita Square. Try Mexico City dumbass.
6) We went to the Acropolis today. Snaps for the Parthenon, Iccy and Cally! The students continued to piss everyone off, by complaining about the climb up to the oldest freaking thing we have seen on the tour. Everyone is clearly ready to go home. We spent the afternoon on our own in the Plaka. The Plaka was full of shopping and fun. However, some people had to desperately get to the HARD ROCK CAFÉ. They stormed Paola with questions about seeing this all important part of Greek history and culture. I mean really we are getting ready to home tomorrow, they definitely need a hamburger today…don’t you agree! Some of us saw the changing of the guard, Harvey was freaked out by the birds, Brent is not funny anymore because he is ready to leave, Karen’s white pants are dirty and will never be clean again, and Clare can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow while we get up at 3:00 in the morning and she stays behind form more of her adventures.

Award—

Delphi Heat Index—Karen’s Hat that sucker is hot
Internal Heat Regulation—The breeze in Greece which Harvey believes is a gift from Athena herself for his imparting wisdom on these children

THANKS FOR KEEPING UP WITH US! We hope you enjoyed it, see you in the states!
