Amazing and incredible

Last night I had a wonderful dinner at an outdore taverne and the food and service was great, however I noticed that all the tourists were on one side and later I asked my new Greek friends and they confirmed that indeed I was stuck with the tourists. I met my new friends George and Peter at a restuarant called Great Pita. George said you will have a beer with me please? I thought he meant buy a beer, but he did mean have a beer with him. While I was waiting for him to get done with work, Niko and Peter were drinking beer from the Kiosk selling all sorts of things. Peter is older and speaks incredible english. We spoke about politics, both Greek and American and about family. When more workers got off work at 1am, they joined us as well. George took my for a drink and we took his scooter to the little Acropolis not far below the main Acropolis. People were drinking and playing music with the view of the lit Acropolis and the city of Athens below. What a fantastic experience. Tonight Peter took me to a student travel agency and I booked my trip to Santorini and Mykonos and my airfair to Rome, Italy. We also ate traditional greek meat and met many restaurant owners. I leave Sunday. I'm learning so much about Greece I had no idea about. I can't wait to show you pictures, but I just found out this dang computer won't let me use the USB. Tommorrow I will find an internet cafe to post pictures. I have never saw so many shoe/sandal shops in my life!
