Kalimera (good morning) from Athens!
Sorry we've been a bit MIA for the last few days. We arrived in Athens on Sunday and have been trying to take in the sights. I've also been fighting a few different buggies and have crashed the moment we return to our hotel in the evening (or late afternoon, on occasion...) Kee-Min has been planning our days (and food stops), making me tea, and working on some posts from Japan.
Not quite sure what you're going to get next, blog-wise - we have a few posts left from Japan, plus a few from Cambodia, and one or two from Singapore. And right now, we have Athens on our minds. Thankfully, you are all temporally and geographically flexible (I hope).
But my final kick in the tush to get back to the blog came this morning, in the shower - when I realized that today is Wednesday, Feb. 29. Apart from a raucous birthday celebration for any of you leap-year babies (just checked my Facebook, don't think any of you qualify - but correct me if I'm wrong), this means something else: We have exactly 5 weeks left on the international leg of Our Big Adventure. Half of me thinks this is a LONG time: A long time to be living out of my backpack, changing cities every few days, and sleeping in hotel beds. But the other half of me thinks is this a ridiculously SHORT time: We've already been traveling for 2 months, and they've flown by! Who needs clean clothes, anyway?
[And don't worry...we'll be returning stateside and kicking off a 5 week road trip across the US. So if we show up at your door, holding our sleeping bags, sometime in April - don't be surprised!]
For now, though - I am seizing today! And that means changing from wool to cotton (warmer today than I thought), finding some breakfast pastries, and hitting up Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, the Archaeology Museum, and an afternoon trip to Sounion!
