22 June - A long way from Home

Temple of Poseidon

Today I woke up and had a bacon sandwich. The winds were blowing really, really hard. 

Then Papa and I went ashore in the dingy.

After that we went to a resort to get directions to a bus station. The way to the bus station was cross country. Then while we were at the bus station we thought "oh, what the heck" and took a quick trip to the Poseidon Temple.

While we were there we took a couple of pictures then hauled butt to the bus stop.  We didn't have the camera so we used Papa's phone to take the pictures, so they aren't very clear.

Nasty cigarettes at bus stop

While in the bus Papa turned on his mobile G.P.S.. While the G.P.S. was on Papa programed a destination on his G.P.S.. Then after we got off the bus we took a taxi to our destination. After getting the part that we needed we walked to the nearest bus stop. When we saw the bus it passed us right up. So since it was about 2:30, we went to find us a quick lunch.

THERE WASN'T ONE PLACE IN ATHENS THAT WE COULD EAT AT!!  There was nowhere to eat near the bus stop.  So we just sat in the bus stop looking at the mounds of cigarettes near the side walk. Papa gave me some M.R.E. -- Meals Ready to Eat -- which was a package of chocolate cookies.  That was all he could find for us to eat.  Then finally after 2 hours of waiting we got on the bus.

On the bus I took a nap; then woke up as soon as we arrived at our stop at the Poseidon Temple. At the stop we decided to walk back up to the Poseidon Temple.  The Temple of Poseidon was built in 444 B.C.  Wow!  It is really old! 



 

Papa's boat is just to right of my hat brim

On one side we could see nothing by the sea.  On the other side we could see where Papa's boat was anchored. 


Then finally we went back to the dingy and to the boat.



At the boat we finally got to eat something.  Then we watched some M.A.S.H then went straight to bed.
