Rest of the First day of Greece

After I found the internet cafe and watched the strike., I had some exciting times. Since I had plenty of time I decided to just walk and see what I could see. I walked through the steets and came upon some archaelogical sites. The first one, which I could go into for free because I am a student , so I'm glad I packed my student ID card, was Hadrian's Library, which was pretty amazing to look at. Cool columns. The Acropolis was visible from here so it was almost overwhelming. After the library I walked past a little idyllic cafe, so I thought I would sit down and have a beer and soak in the city a little. The guy gave me a Mythos, which is the local lager, which was delicious, even if it was two in the afternoon. I found this and the Roman Agora before I climbed up to the Acropolis. I got up to the Acropolis a little late in the day so there were very few people there. It was awesome to be able to just check everything out without crowds of people there. I went down the other side of the mountain because I could still not find where I had to stay that night because no one I talked to knew where Makri Street was. I got down and the street was right there so I checked in my hostel. I was the first one there out of our group, so I decided to talk to some people. I met these girls and asked them where they were from and one of them was good friends with Oz's girlfriend Cassie, who would be there a few hours later. After saying "What a small world" a few times, we talked to some other people. The next people we talked to went to Hawaii Pacific where I played last year for bball. I met a cool guy named Allen that I hung out with for the afternoon, we found a good Gyro shop with the girls for dinner, and then went back to the hostel. THe hostel had a bar in it, so we started to have some drinks when it opened at six. Oz and Jessman made it there at like 10 so I was very excited to see them. We went to a bar with the rest of people in the hostel and it was cool because the hostel bartender knew the people and got us some great deals on drinks. Because of the strike that day, it was hard to get to our place from the airport so Cassie and Bennett got in very late and we were all just relaxing back at the hostel when they came in. Great first day.
