Greece is so hot. Seriously...hot.

Hello Peeps--
I am once again writing from the hotel lobby...which still smells like smoke. I've decided that this part of Athens is pretty wack--just lots of smoke and b.o. It's like people don't know how to use deodorant. The staff is all clean and clean smelling, but the guests, not so much. It's so bad that I've even started to wonder if it is me...which it could very well be considering it is hot as hades here.

Last night we had dinner near the hotel at this random restaurant...we ate in this garden terrace and everything that we tried to order was not available. What the hell? We settled on Greek Salad and Grilled Chicken...it was pretty decent. Too bad everyone around us was non-stop smoking...even while they were eating. Nasty.

Today we took it pretty easy, I think Rachel got a touch of the flu, so hopefully this vacates her body quickly. We still made it to the top of the Acropolis though--it was pretty sweet. There's a bunch of stray cats and dogs just roaming the streets. It's a bit unsetttling. However the all seem to be pretty well fed, so I guess I shouldnt feel bad.

We also ate dinner in the Plaka area. It was really cute, and very much like you think Greece would look like. It was super touristy, but it was ok...I think that's what we needed. We need well lit streets and food that I can see. We are too pretty to be in the dark alleys.

Tomorrow we are planning on heading to the Agora and the Archeological Museum. It's our last day on this stint in Athens...We'll be back here in about a week and a half though. I can't believe that our first destination is already half over. These trips take so long to plan and then they go by so quickly.

Today I had to buy a phone card because my POS Razr still isnt working. Blasted Cingular. I am so mad. Dont think I wont be making a call when I get back to the US. I dont plan on paying for this 3 weeks of service considering i have an international plan. Dirty bitches.

Anyway, I don't have too much else to say except that I think there's a ton of Americans here and that's kinda boring. And I agree with most peeps that say that Athens is kinda crappy. I am hoping for more exciting times to come in the next few days.

Oh another thing...the people staying here, I think Rachel and I are the youngest by at least 20 years. However the old folks are partying like rock stars. So funny.

Anyway, take care of each other. Always remember to log out.

Until next time...
