June 23: Last day in Athens + War Museum

Rode the metro early this morning and visited the war museum and the Newmismatic museum. The war museum had some nice artifacts reflecting the evolution of war and war theory and the uniform evoution as well as some very fine Greek Special Forces officers. Let’s just say I have never been that interested in airplanes and the War at Thermopolye until now. The Newmismatic museum was the old house of the archeologist who discovered the find. The coins all seemed the same after awhile but it was really neat to see how advanced cultures were that long ago.

We ate at an amazing Slouvaki taverna that was amazing, George found it, and as usual it delicious and cheap. That was the day we ate McCoy's fries by accident when they set them on our table..oops. We also got donuts that were huge and only coast 2.50 Euro!!! I got a cornu or a French horn as you would say in the U.S. We walked back and browsed through the flee market eventually separating into smaller groups. I walked back with Perri and went to the hotel room just to take a 3 hour nap on our last day in Athens for 4 weeks. It was a good nap though. Woke up around 6:30 then got ready for a fantastic dinner in PlAKA. I will miss it. What was most dissapointing was that we found this pub crawl on the last night that we wer

e there..but we made a pact that we will have to go there when we get a chance. We stopped by a little wooden toy store and found so many things that we were interested in, jewelry, swords (for the boys), chess sets, and well anything that you could imagine!~ Then I packed up for to leave Athens, we were off to the beautiful coastal city of Napflion. See you soon Athens!!
