Day 11 - Athina/Athens

I just mailed all my souvenirs (so far). I hope they make it. I took pictures of them, just in case they get lost or smashed to pieces. The breakable stuff had bubble wrap, and I had plenty of plastic bags as cushion, but you never know.

It seems like all the tourists here stay out deep into the night every night. But since I don't do that sort of thing when I'm at home, why would I necessarily start doing it now? So I went to bed around ten, got woken up by noisy streetgoers and roommates (the Aussie guy left and we got a couple from San Francisco/Japan), but then got out of bed around seven. Athens is going to work, but the tourists are still sleeping. Every day's a weekend when you're a tourist!

With how much the Pope has been in the news here, you'd think the Greeks were Catholic. Prince Charles's wedding barely got a mention, so I guess they're not British! For the record, I think the next pope will be from Latin America.
