hotel breakfast
front of hotel
og olympic stadium
us with the guards...they were SO good at what they do, they didn't even bat an eye. it was crazy cool. so glad we got a pic with them.
changing of the guards very cool. still wish we hadn't missed the London Changing of the guards :( i really wanted to see those bear fur hats!
they have a traditional routine they do, involving high kicks.
check out the little pom poms on their shoes. they are like the house slippers i showed earlier! cute!
yikes! the central market, i thought it was going to be fruit, bread, and sweets. boy was i wrong! this was the least obtrusive image to share. other animals included whole long hanging rabbits, with their furry white feet and tails still on and goats heads, meat only! i had to get out of there, quick!
funicular up to Mt. Lycabettus. we got ripped off. when i asked how much the tickets were she said 6 euros. instantly i thought, that's the same price as the louvre...we paid. and once we got up there (which was too late) saw a kiosk selling one way tickets down. we could have bought a one way uphill and walked on the cool path down. and saved 6 euros. oh well. the view was worth it...plus we were able to meet this great austrialian family. they are posted later on this one.

we went to the '04 olympic stadium. kinda weird cause it was so massive a site, yet so desolate. i wish it could be getting more use. OR maybe it'd be better if every year, the games would be held in the same spot and countries could save billions of dollars on construction costs and areas wouldn't go to waste. it was sad.
training pool, i guess.
