I’m writing this after the fact, in fact right now I’m sitting on my balcony in my hotel in Delfi, so bear with me. Athens is cool and all, but I’ve been there before, and to be honest the location of my hotel wasn’t that good. It was close to the things that I needed like grocery stores, bus stops, and even fairly close to the Acropolis, but it was also close to lots of young guys just hanging around a gambling place and just a block away was the corner of choice for a handful of prostitutes. Yeah, I know sounds kind of unsavory, especially about the prostitutes. It was, and honestly it took me a couple of times walking past them to realize that they were ladies of the evening. I guess I’m just naïve in that way because I’m walking past checking them out thinking that they were cute, that was until one showed me way too much attention. At that point I put my head down and didn’t look up again, in fact from then on I went a different way when I left the hotel.

I went to the Acropolis a couple of times, maybe three times, but never actually went up to take photos. I still remember being there on spring break a few years ago and taking literally hundreds of pictures. This time I was just walking around the base of the city, checking out the souvenir shops and sampling some of the food being sold. It was fun, but nothing great. The only real difference between the time I was here before and now was that there was way more people now. I think I like better with more people. So no great pictures, no fun stories to tell, and nothing special happened, just a good time.
