Demonstration

Waking up to a freezing room and a cold shower was not exactly the best way to start out the day but the breakfast spread was quite nice. Dipping bread in yogurt and honey is quite tasty in addition to the olives, feta, and other antipasti.

While the Athens center was a very visually appealing the little bit of Greek that I retained would probably be laughed at by a local. The speaker gave a good speech but it seemed rather on the lengthy side. For lunch I bought some kind of pastry with feta inside and a apple and peach juice. After telling everyone else in the group what me and Katie were eating, the bakery was pretty much sold out of the pastry.

On the way back to the hotel from the Athens Center we took a bus because of the "Demostration" that was supposed to be happening in Syntagma Square in front of the Parliament Building. Because this one could possibly turn in to a riot and become dangerous we were told not to go to the demonstration...I was a little bit disappointed.
