Today after writing I went back to bed for a bit and then Tucker and I got up and got ready for the day. We headed out towards an area of Athens that we had been before but were trying to find the museum of Greek Costumes. By the time we got there though it was closed! What kind of museum is only open from 10-1? So then we went to the best bookstore in Athens apparantly and it really was cool. It had Greek and English literature across 7 stories of books. (I tried to find Twlight Caroline but they were sold out in English..apparantly its in high demand so I got Feast of love and Chasing Harry Winston instead) Then Tucker and I enjoyed some food in their cafe. Tucker got "fresh fruit juice" that was literally an apple, pear, banana, oranges and other stuff in a blender and mixed up. Then we walked towards Plaka-the center of Athens where the acropolis is. We were going to see if this one movie theater had showings of Get Smart because its a skorcher today and we've pretty much seen all of Athens that we wanted to. Unfortunatly showings aren't until 8:45 pm because they're outside so that didnt work out. Then we went to this cafe and proceeded to eat for a few hours. It wasn't even that much food or money though. We just kind of slowly ordered more water...cheap pita bread...some cheese...kebabs...wee bit of wine and coffee...and yea it was very relaxing just sitting in the shade.
Then after food Tucker walked me back to the book store where I was planning to read for about an hour as he went a little bit away and climbed up Lykavittos Hill again. I thought he was crazy to want to do this again but just as long as he didn't hurt himself and come back quick I was okay with it. Well to my surprise he ran all the way up this hill that took us 2 hours yesterday just to get up. He went up and back down in less than 30 minutes. Ya... surprised me when he walked back into the book store 30 minutes early...dripping with sweat!
Now we're back at the hostel ready to shower and play some cards...listen to music...relax...cuz tomorrow we wake up semi early and catch a flight to Rome.
We probably won't have internet in Rome so it might be a bit till we write again!
Love and miss you all!!

Sounds like a lot of fun! I think I could have run up that hill in 20 minutes - just kidding. Looks like you are returning to Rome - that Trevi fountain thing works. Love y.
