So Em, What did you to today?
Oh, I went to the Acropolis.
Oh yeah? How was it?
Mind-blowing, thanks for asking.
Being at the Acropolis was the clincher. I've had this vague idea in the back of my head that this trip has been pretty cool, but now the sheer big dealness of it all has filled my brain with, "Wow, this is flippin' incredible," thoughts. Was that really me slipping around on the marble of the Acropolis? That wasn't just wishful thinking? I was sitting on a wall that overlooked the city and just thought about everything we've done so far. So much, that I never, ever thought I'd do, I've done.
I'm so blessed that I was able to come here and not just myself, but with an pro-awesome group as well.

When marble is shinier than your shoes, that's bad.

After dinner we listened to Jason's half-hour talk about what to expect on the cruise ship for an hour and a half, then finally went swimming. After that, we went out for ice cream again. No dog this time though.
Of course Rachel would find this place...
