We woke up Saturday and took the hostel's walking tour of Athens, where our tour guide, George, informed us that we were in Athens on the first day it had rained since Easter. Of course. We grabbed umbrellas and started to see the sites anyway.
We got to see Hadrian's Arch,
the Temple of Zeus,
the National Garden,
Greek Parliament in Syntagma square,
and by that point it started POURING. Our tour guide told us it was probably raining too hard to continue, so we started to walk back, and were sprayed by every car that drove past us, just like in the movies. By the time we got back, we were DRENCHED. So naturally, we decided food would make us feel better, and we tried another Greek restaurant that was not as good, but still had really great chicken and potatoes. After we had dried off, we went to a cute café with rows and rows of couch chairs. We ordered frappés, another Greek specialty that's kind of like a mix between a frappucino and really sweet espressos, and sat for a couple hours there like all the Europeans were doing.
