We trek out into the neighborhood -- Andrea is amazed by the whole scene- it is busy, ancient, and a bit overwhelming. We hike up to the Acropolis. It is all being restored, so it doesn't quite have the mystique I would expect, but the views are impressive. It is amazing to think about these massive marble temples being built 3000 years ago. They are truly wonders.
After coming back down the hill we are hot, sweaty, and famished. We find a sidewalk cafe. Andrea has the cold cucumber soup, which is not cold enough for her taste. I have tomatoes and cucumbers w/ olive oil. Once again, the produce produces.
We get a pistachio gelato that is one of the best ice creams I've ever had. I head back for a shower and some R&R while Andrea keeps cruising the streets.
