Athens again.
I hooked up with my German girlfriend Anna as soon as I got to the hostel and we headed out. Our first adventure was at The Acropolis.
With Anna leading the way, map in hand, we found it easily. However, neither of us read Greek (Although, to be honest I don’t recall seeing any signs in English or Greek) so we didn’t know that you weren’t allowed to touch the ancient stones. That is, until some chick with a whistle started blowing it and yelling at us. Then we started up the side of the mountain towards the main ruins and veered off the well-beaten track to check out what looked like a cave. Only to hear that crazy chic with the whistle blowing it at us again!
So we got back onto the path and marched ourselves to the top, where we found a whole crew of men in uniform! π We weren’t sure what nationality they were, or even if they were navy, or what. (White sailor type uniforms with braids on the shoulders and crisp hats) but we did find out that they didn’t speak English, or German, and that flirting is a language all it’s own!
Sasha, I loved reading about your trip to Greece! I loved your revelations, too. π

Thanks Suzanne. I love to travel…and body image and confidence is an issue I think everyone shares. π
