Athens Day 3.2
We have just heard that there will be striking across the country tomorrow. Some city workers and other employees are planning to stay home and not go to work. This is just great. We are planning to take a national bus to go to Delphi tomorrow, but we have heard on the Internet that the long travel busses will still be running. Earlier today, we went to the port terminal to get tickets for Santorini. On the way back the subway did not stop at the parliament for fear of the crowds stopping the subway. Great. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow. This evening we were out on the patio enjoying some beverages and a motorcycle mob came through throwing pamphlets with a group of 3 police motorcycles following. They were all honking their horns and chanting something in Greek talk. Tomorrow might be an interesting day.
Also this evening we went down to the sports bar and met 2 girls that are traveling abroad. One, Jessica is from Brisbane and is here for a Latin conference. She was sitting by herself and I invited her to came on over to our table. Is was great since Andrew event to the bathroom and upon returning saw that a female was chilling in his chair. He came back and he had a little laugh and little did we know that Jessica had a friend Camille to join us. Camille is from Quebec and was a great addition to the evening. She is a mild hockey fan compared to Andrew and had some funny things to say just coming off a trip from the islands. She will be here for a few more days with a sick sister and then heading back home. It is amazing who you run into out here!
I have more to say, but gotta get to bed to then running the morning and try our best to get to Delphi. We'll see...
Europeans like to strike, take it in stride, since all they are doing is staying home. Don't worry too much, unless they take to the streets and light tractor tires on fire!
