6/6

Dinner was incredibly delightful. A giant table at an outdoor restaurant, partnered with bottomless wine casts, proved to be the perfect environment for ‘making new friends.’ Dinner began at 10, and the festivities continued until around 3:30. The food is so, so fresh.
Today I just meandered around Athens with a few other people. While the acropolis is visible from nearly everywhere in Athens, its visibility confuses its accessibility. What was advertised as a “fifteen minute walk” by the doorman at our hotel easily took ninety. But we finally stumbled upon the entrance, and it was like Christmas morning for an archaeologist. The caryatids on the Erectheion took me back to art history 101 with J Dobbins.
Greece is so cool.
