I can't wait to put these pictures up! Yesterday and today have been amazing. Started out yesterday (Sunday) missing our bus to Delphi and having to take the later one. We pulled into Delphi about 10:00, got off the bus and asked someone where a cheap hotel was. He pointed us up one (of the two) streets in Delphi towards Hotel Pan.

I saw where Emily had to drive in Chicago traffic, if you want a real experience you'll drive over here!

I apologized, and he said in broken English ''its ok, its ok" then...

Big stuff in Athens day! We saw the Parthenon, Acropolis, Zeus' temple, Agora market. We spent a lot of the morning trying to get the girls' ferry tickets to Santorini, which we eventually did but it was a hassle because the metro was down for some reason.

Bus for Delphi...

ATHENS!! So I'm skipping ahead to now, if I can I'll recap Lisbon and Merida asap! right now I have about 45 minutes until we have to leave to catch a bus to Delphi, center of the ancient world! We missed the 5:30 bus... that may have been my fault... we took the wrong bus and ended up at the wrong bus terminal... oops. But there's another at 8 we can take. We'll get there later than we wanted tonight but thats ok. I got here about 2 am on Thursday, I left ...
