Saying Good-bye to the Parthenon
This morning I convinced B that he didn't need to go to work, and that he could spend one last day hanging out with us before we leave. (He has a few things to finish up here before he rejoins us.) What can I say? I think that I am largely somewhat to blame for any lack of progress on his dissertation.
Anyway, he asked both Z and M what their favorite place in Athens was, and endeavored to take them to say good-bye. Neither hesitated. M chose the Acropolis/Parthenon, and Z chose the Acropolis Museum. B was only too happy to make the outing during the super-pleasant weather we're experiencing.
I put T down for an early nap, ostensibly so that I could pack. There's really nothing for me to do, other than tap my feet anxiously and wander around the apartment. Rather than scrambling to round things up, I am waiting for clean clothes to dry. We'll be leaving the house a mess-ish. (Sorry, honey.) But everything we've left can be tossed into the trash. Really.

This photo has been recycled from one of our fall visits to the Acropolis, but M is wearing the exact same clothing for the visit today, down to the shoes! |
