All is going swimmingly here in Athens, Greece. Today is our last day -- tomorrow we leave bright and early (6 am) for the airport to catch our flight to Rome.

Yesterday we visited Cape Sounion, a lovely spot a few hours outside of Athens, and the site of the impressive ruins of a temple dedicated to Poseidon. On the way back we hassled the amiable bus driver until he consented to drop us at the beach for an hour. 'Twas my first time in the Aegean sea -- lovely temperatures and extreme salinity would describe it well.

Here are a few photos of the trip thus far for all to enjoy. Treat yourself!
