Last Day in Athens
Sunday we found our way to Mt. Lycabettus. This mountain just sticks up in the middle of the city. We took a train at Tybeatus to the top and had an amazing view of all of Athens. You can see the water, the Acropolis and all the way around. It really put the city into a good perspective.
When we went back to the bottom, Nellie and I went shopping in a great market. There were many shops that sold clothes, hand-made leather sandals and souvenirs. Out of no where is started to thunderstorm!! Apparently it never rains in Athens, but decided to our last day when we wanted to go shopping in an outdoor market. But this was a good thing because we happened upon a small shop in the back ally where the dresses caught my eye. We walked in and found ourselves in a women’s studio where she makes all her own clothes. Nellie and I tried a bunch of clothes on and I bought a shirt and Nellie got a dress. She even put elastic in the dress for Nellie right there. Now we have one of a kind clothes from Yota in Athens. We also stumbled upon a Starbucks!! A quick and much need comfort of the States.
For lunch, I finally got a gyro!! So good!!! We then met up with the boys and found our way on the metro to the airport where we flew back to Rome.
