We took a driving tour of the Ancient City today. We saw the Olympic stadium, the changing of the guard at Parliament, We drove to some wonderful vistas with some great views of the city! Our guide shared some wonderful stories of Athena and Greek Mythology.
When we returned from our city tour we took a short walk through some of the historic areas around our hotel, but first stop for Tex was Hard Rock of course.
We stopped for a wonderful lunch on a cute little side street with pizza and souvlaki. After lunch I grabbed some fresh cherries from the market. They were crisp and cold and oh so sweet.
After some rest from the morning adventure we were greeted by our tour guide who walked us through the old city on our way to dinner. We stopped by a church for a group photo before reaching our rooftop dining experience. This was all fine until Lynette, Julie, Tex and I were joined by a young lady in the elevator which must have exceeded the limit as we were now stuck. Many of you know I was stuck on an elevator as a child at a ski resort in school. I was not happy. It was getting hot fast and we were going no where. The lady who joined us was able to call the front desk. The power then went out and we slowly started to descend. Still not doing well. Finally we arrived at the first floor, everyone exited and I went outside for a quick breath and to try to relax. Tex took the elevator back up to the 5th floor and I walked up. Still not good.
Once we all made it up we were greeted by a lovely staff and a lovely view.
Dinner was sea bass and vegetables, Greek salad, dolmades (grape leaves wrapped over rice), with a squeeze of lemon delicious, and of course Tzatziki, my new favorite!
Quite the lovely first day!
