Poseidon's Temple / Final gyros

23-24 June 2018, Saturday-Sunday

Lee, Karen, and Xi set off in search of Poseidon's Temple in Sounio, 30 miles down the coast from Glyfada while Jackie, Caroline, CJ, and Claire braved another day in Athens. They hit the Agora and picked up a few things from some shops and flea markets. Xi, Lee, and Karen loved the views and the breeze in Sounio from atop the hill at Poseidon's Temple. It was gyros for our last lunch in Greece.

We all reconnected late in the afternoon--some hit the beach for a few hours and some hit the pillow. Then it was off to mass where our understanding was limited to "Amen" and "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison, Kyrie Eleison." At least we knew when to sit and stand.

After mass, we had a great last dinner together. The kids managed to play "20 Questions" for the 2 hours we were at dinner, even when we had to squeeze our seats together during a thunderstorm so that Xi's and Caroline's food didn't get soggy. We grabbed some ice cream on the way back to "the bus."

Sunday morning--back to the airport. CJ, Jackie, and Xi' flight to Rome takes off around 10am. The remaining Arnolds head home via Heathrow around 1:20pm. Karen got patted down AGAIN at Athens security. Feeling violated.
Off they go to continue the adventure!
