We started the day early to be at the Parthenon when it opened for the best uncrowded group photos possible. The pictures are going to be fantastic, and once again, even Uncles Theo and Christos made the climb with us. Everywhere we go, Uncle Theo tells folks that we are his American Greek family come to visit. He has an infectious laugh and loving spirit. We also saw the Temple of Zeus and the Olympic Stadium (completely marble). Chris snagged a free selfie stick when he purchased a tripod, so Tori took several group selfies. Hope to get one to post on the blog soon.
Our site seeing was finished before lunch and everyone scattered for their own desired activities. A lot of shopping took place, I fear. Carter and I decided that we had to try McDonalds while in Greece. I ordered the Greek Mac meal. Not bad.

Dinner together tonight with live music. They even played "Sweet Home Alabama" in our honor. Dennis was celebrating a birthday, so the chef sent out cake and ice cream and we sang "Happy Birthday." Uncle Christos danced a little for us. More shopping on the way back to our hotels. Tomorrow is yet another early day as the train leaves the station a 7:18. All aboard to Thessaloniki.
