On May 23rd our family left Strasbourg in order to go to Greece. We took a train to the Frankfurt airport, then a plane to Thessalonica, and finally another plane to the Athens airport. We only had a small dilemma, which is that we went to the wrong gate. The woman at the desk told us to go to B10, and we did that. Just before security, where you get your tickets checked, the person said that we were at the wrong gate. So we turned around, and went to gate A10 instead.
We then took a bus to Voula, a small town right beside Athens. We tracked down Posidonos road, very difficult to do because everything was in Greek, and found our apartment.
We found a small grocery store down the road, where we got most of our food on that trip. There was also a mall close to us with another grocery store and an internet café in it. We used the internet café for email a couple times.
A few days after we got there we went into Athens to go to the Acropolis. The Acropolis is a big raised platform with walls around it, on which there are some temples, including the Parthenon. The Parthenon is a huge temple to the goddess Athena, ordered built by Pericles. We also went into the temple of Athena Nike.
The day before we left we went to Lake Vouliagmenis, which is a mineral lake in a crater. There were tiny fish swimming there, and we swam with them.
We stayed a total of 8 days. The trip back was uneventful, and we were glad to see our apartment when we got there!
