i'm here at the hotel in athens, killing time before my cab ride to the airport. (hopefully i dont die...cab drivers are maniacs here...i could be witness to several pedestrians murders. lol)
hannah left this morning at 4 am for her flight to sicily...its wierd that we are actually parting ways and i am coming home. Not that i dont miss everybody!
the next day or so is going to be so long!!! i'm going to get really confortable crashing in airports. Ive gotten comfortable crashing everywhere else on this trip!! i suppose it was time that the airport got a turn. :)
Greece has been amazing, despite the heat and the state of emergency...its been one of my favorite stops. Yesterday (or the day before...i cant remember...) we went to the acropolis and all of the sites on that hill...and we also went to mars hill which was awesome. one of the perks of the trip for sure.
Going through all of those ruins was an odd experience. Because of the extreme heat, there really werent tourists there...very few anyways. at certain points hannah and i were the only people in the ruins. A very wierd feeling...it just felt so eerie to be wondering through those ancient temples with no one else around. Once you come down off of the acropolis, halfway down the hill you run into mars hill. The feeling of standing where paul preached to the greeks, literally in the shadow of the highest respected temples of their gods, was quite a feeling. A trip highlight for sure.
And mars hill was the one place i succeeded in taking a piece of rock from. I really wanted to nab a piece of the colloseum, but that wasnt happening...too many poeple, and i had a close enough brush with arrest at the reichstag. haha...
i also wanted to snag something from the acropolis...but once again, chose to return to the states without handcuffs on...
so mars hill was the place. (and the best choice...) so my one and inly suvenier of this trip is a piece of the marble from mars hill. :)
i suppose ill be seeing all of you in a couple of days!!! it will be good to be home again...mostly. :)
