The Plaka...last morning in Athens

we sure savored our final day in athens. we left around 1:30 to get to the airport to get to Milan, but enjoyed our relaxed morning strolling the Plaka, one of our favorite parts of Athens (other then the island and the acropolis, of course) Honestly, most of Athens is pretty dirty. matt commented is it just because it may not rain a lot here, so everything is just run down and dirty, or is it just old. anyways, we didn't just love it, but we did love the 3 places mentioned above...
so we did a little shopping. very UN hawthorne-like. we tend to NOT spend money on things, but thought, hey if there's something that we've been eyeing for the past couple days, we should go ahead and buy it, i mean when are we going to be back in Greece.
so matt got some Traditional Greek Woolen Slippers with huge pom poms on the top. he loves them. i just hope he will wear them once we get home. i bought a tiny pair for our child in the future. they are the cream ones in the picture below.
i got a green parthenon t-shirt and then we decided it'd be fun to collect postcards from each place we've been, so we collected those too!
the Easy Jet flights have been so nice, new airline, so everything is new looking. no free food or drinks on the flight, but that's okay...
Now we are in Milan, and we'll be seeing the Duomo in the morning, before heading to Cinque Terra.

hard decision...

these chairs are like the ones we had in our house growing up? do we still have these anywhere mom?
