Pireaus - Hotter Than I Could Have Imagined - 6/15/07, Athens, 9:32 p.m.
So, we went to the Pireaus today, which is the main port city for both ancient and modern Athens. It was SCORCHING hot. Seriously, I haven't sweat that much since last July at the pool. Misery. We walked for a very, very long time before we got where we needed to be. And, to top it off, the ruins weren't even that exciting. But, we did get to have some ice cream on Colgate, which was nice. We walked back to the metro and came home.
Then we went to go meet our guest lecturer at the Byzantine Museum, except Brianne and I got lost. We walked for about 10 minutes in the wrong direction before we realized it and had to go back. We got there in time, but it still stunk.
In other news, the air conditioner in our room is broken -- making it horribly hot in here. We have the door open and a fan on, but it is still very very hot. Hopefully, it cools off tonight.
Tomorrow is the group's last day in Athens. I can't believe it has gone this quickly! Tonight a couple of us are going to Placa to buy some last minute souveniers and go to a bar that we found. Have some drinks, be nostalgic. Good times.
Well, I must away! Lots and lots of love from Athens!
Miss you!
Xoxo,

All good things have to come to an end! At least there are beaches u can go to for the next few days to cool off! Enjoy!
WOW I really cannot believe that your time there is almost up. That went by sooo quickly! Bummer about the air conditioning though. I guess you'll just have to go to the beaches and swim in the ocean. Big fat bummer. haha!
Miss you!
