It's been a long day. Last night Rob and I met up with Frank and Vassiliki at Rembetiki Istoria for one last night of Rembetika music. Frank was Rob's modern Greek language professor last year at IU and it was really cool to be able to spend time with them in Athens. Because the bandleader Pavlos and Frank are great friends we were well cared for and didn't make it home until well after 3:30 a.m. AND because it's Sunday morning it was our last opportunity to get Allie's (a fellow ASCSA student) delicious homemade biscuits so we were up much earlier than we would have liked to be. As to not waste a perfectly good day, Rob and I headed out just after breakfast for the best view of the Acropolis....from the Pnyx.
The Pnyx is where the ancient Greeks held assemblies and is extremely important in the creation of Democracy. It is such a peaceful part of the city and the views are great. Next, we headed to the Acropolis Museum and after touring the antiquities we had a coffee in the cafe...(in keeping with our theme)...one last time. It was a fun albeit sleep deprived day!
