Sunday April 4-- Easter in Athens

Happy Easter!! Not much going on today in Athens. All the stores and tourist things were closed today for easter. We got up around ten, went to breakfast in the hotel, then went back to sleep for a few hours. We decided to take the tram, their version of the train but it runs in the middle of the street, to this beach area about an hour and ten minutes away. The people at the front desk told us its the very last stop and its a huge beach filled with tons of young better and lots of restaurants and fun things- they said it would be good for us today. So we went and sat on the tram to the last stop---- it definitly was not the last stop, more like 4 stops before it but we didn't know so we stayed on till the end. It brought us to this deserted beach area with nothing around it. We had to walk through some kibbutz like place where people were having easter meals to get to the beach and there waa nooooo one there. We sat on the beach all afternoon till about 530. It was soooo nice there- not too hot. Then we took the tram back, came back and showered and went for dinner. I got chicken souvaliki again. Nothing I've eaten has wowed me yet. Its definitly fresher then America but I kind of like american greek food better? Its weird. The plates are also very very small here- americans would not do well here and its very expensive for such a little amount too. After dinner we walked to this greek bakery we've passed by everyday. Its hugeee and has everything. Its like a little bakery cafe. I got this reallly good custard thing and tea and jodi got gelato. Then we just came back here and packed up our stuff for our cruise tomorrrowww woooooooo!!! 9 am can't wait. First and only stop tomorrow- Mykanoes tomorrow night yayaya
