Tuesday
Well...there isn't much to say about today...we slept in, moved to the couch, ate, watched TV, hung out, and were bums. Thats pretty much it. It was a rest day for me after the transfer and we really didn't do much at all.
Brian did make a run to the store to get more eggs (I'm STILL eating 5 egg whites a day and my last day is tomorrow...thank goodness). He brought back ice cream. We tried it. That wasn't ice cream. That was gross. That shouldn't be sold to the public. Cue in drinking lots of water to get the nasy taste out of our mouths.
On a positive note, we did finish all the Walking Dead episodes that are on Netflix. We want to know what happens in Season 5...but it doesn't come out until september. Of course. Oh well, staying up until 2:30am was worth it!
Wednesday
Because of the late night with zombies last night, we slept in even longer today. By the time we woke up, it was practically lunch time - I REALLY didn't want another plate of egg whites this morning, so we opted out of breakfast and just decided to go to Hard Rock Cafe for a good ole American lunch! We thought we needed to have a good burger since we had the gross burger the other day at Goodys. So we got around and headed into Athens.
We got off the train station for Hard Rock Cafe and we started walking around trying to find it. This place was loaded with tons of shops!!! So we did a little looking too. We finally found the restaurant and soon found out that it had only been in business for 2 weeks. So they just had cocktails and appitizers. Good enough for us, we are hungry! Yummy American food!!!!!!! We walked around the shops a bit and then head back out to the shopping. We really didn't have any plans for today because hitting up some of the metro stops that have exhibits of things they found while they were creating the metro lines, but that's about it. So we walked around and looked in the shops, it was more local things - kind of like an outdoor mall. We finally found onzies!! Well, 4 of them to be exact. And we didnt' like any of them, so we are still onezie-less.
We did hit up a bakery and tried baklava and macoroons. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Brian liked it all, but I liked the mini baklava rolls the best, the big thing of baklava tasted like pumpkin pie to me.
We also went into a toy store. A four story toy store. Holy cow. It was huge. We were trying to find a thing for the baby without much luck. We did find Disney stories in Greek! So...back story first -
Last night, I was talking to Ashley and she said her and Johnathan had thought of a nickname for our baby. (We have lots of nicknames for the kids - River is E or Bug and Miles is Squishy). They came up with Nemo because we have fought really hard for our kiddo and we traveled all across the ocean to get him/her! We loved it, so Little One, AKA Nemo, needed a present at the toy store. What better than Finding Nemo in Greek??? Heck yes!
The rest of the day we really just walked around and played it by ear on what we wanted to do. We just went from train station to train station and got off, looked around, walked in shops and then hit up another train station. It was a fun, relaxed, exploring day!
When we finally got the home station, we struggled getting a cab...and then the guy got lost. We finally recoginzed where we were and directed him to the house. He tried to put me on the phone with a guy that could speak English and that was an utter disaster - but we finally made it home. We relaxed, I ate my egg whites (that now makes 45 egg whites in 9 days) and its time to watch some TV before bed.
