Why-Fi?

Internet access here is not quite the blistering fast connection we're used to at home. It can take 20-30 seconds to load a page, let alone a picture. Michael thought perhaps Greece bought all of our old equipment from 10 years ago. In any event, we are working on reducing pic size and we'll be moving hotels on Saturday - that might help. Thanks for your patience.

Dinner was held on the top-floor restaurant - four courses: cannoli, carrot and cabbage salad, grilled pork with mashed potatoes, and some kind of orange cake with creme fresh (it has a name, but it escapes me at the moment). We were informed that, contrary to popular belief, lamb is not a staple in Greece - it was back in the day of shepherding - and that pork and chicken are the most abundant and widely consumed meats.

After the meal we headed out to the rooftop observation deck to watch the city lights come alive and the sun set over the western mountains. It was unbelievable. The Parthenon and Acropolis are now lit up - stunning.

Exhausted from less than four hours of sleep since Tuesday night. Must close eyes and remain comatose for the next 8 hours. Tomorrow we climb the Acropolis and hit another museum before 3pm. Will try to get another entry and pics at that point. The pics will get posted eventually.

Good afternoon, Midwesterners. Good night, Greece.
