For the first time in my whole trip I felt like Christmas was coming. Walking into the Metro station in Greece I was greeted with Christmas lights and people dressed in Christmas/Winter type gear.

I managed to find a reasonably priced hostel, with toilet paper and hot water, all sorts of luxury and went out for some Greek food. Had some gyros (mmm, greasy and unhealthy) and then took an early night.

Today I headed out to the Parthenon and the Acropolis. The subway here is not that hard to get around once you understand the basics, there are only about 3 lines and you can get a 24 hour pass for about 3 Euros. They were pretty cool, it was neat to see all the ruins of an Ancient Athens, but a lot of the temples were being restored so they were covered in scaffolding. Even still, it was still great to see them in person. Think I liked the museum in Alexandria more than the Acropolic Museum though.

It's quite cold here, 10 degrees, and really wish I picked up more warm clothes in Egypt. I forgot how expensive Western prices are. The sweater that i thought was too expensive at $13 in Egypt is about $60 here. Oh well, I can rotate between my two outfits and just wash one when I am wearing the other.

Alright, I'm outta here, see you all soon (it's less than a week now)!!!

Cheers,
Drew
