On the day after I comment on Facebook about how there hasn't been any violent activity since we've been in this country, I learn about an assassination attempt on one of the Ministers of Security that ended up killing an advisor by mistake. I only learned a few details about the matter this morning, but I can assure anyone that has heard about this that our group is still doing fine. With us still being in Nauphlion and the attack occurring in Athens, we missed that and shouldn't be in any danger when we return to the capital in 2 days. Just wanted to throw that out there and let you know that we're still alive...
So today was another typical sort of day as we had a few classes, a few bus rides, ventured to another archaeological site (Complete with some singing on the local theater to test out the acoustics. Yours truly did a rousing rendition of Bruce Dickinson's "Tears Of The Dragon"), and got off for a late lunch around 3. After that, we've had another clear day so I ended up hanging around the hotel, wandering along the shoreline again (I'll probably bring my camera next time I go check out. It is a nice little path), and just got back from a late dinner at a nearby cafe. I gotta tell you, pear juice is some interesting stuff. Actually, all the juices that I've had here have been pretty interesting and go beyond the standard orange/apple/grape that we see on the other side of the Atlantic. The peach and strawberry juices are particularly interesting...
Also worth interesting is that there are only about 5 more days left of the trip. While the trip has had some slow pacing at times, there are still some feelings of it going by quickly. Of course, I'm still anxious to make my way back to the States to see everyone that I've missed here and to plot where my next cross-country adventure should be. I do have a slight yearning leftover from the Ireland incident...
