Hello, Goodbye Greece

Well, we're almost done with Greece and the whole honeymoon thing. Our departure from Santorini was largely uneventful, other than Noelle almost losing her wallet in the cab. Athens has proven cooler than expected. The Grande Bretagne is a swank hotel (it was good enough for Ze Germans to use as headquarters in WWII, so it can't be too too bad, right?). We've been to the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora ( where ya know, they invented the Democracy, ya know?), Hadrian's Gate, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the mountain where the Muses lived (forgot the name), and the archeological museum. Noelle's tired of looking at "old stuff." Frankly, it's gotten to be a bit of a blur to me as well. It was super cool to see Agamemon's death mask and walk around ruins that are 2500 years old. Down sides: there is graffiti everywhere and today some asshole lifted Noelle's wallet. I have not wanted to cock punch someone so badly in a really long time. Oh well, shit happens when you travel, I guess. I am really looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and playing with the kitties, so I guess it's a good thing we're leaving in under 36 hours.
