Went to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), which houses the National Library of Greece.

Went to the Edem beach. It was super windy today and somewhat cold on the beach. The waves of the Aegean Sea (Saronic Gulf) were pretty restless. Daniel still swam but it was not the most pleasant experience. So, he resorted to his Stone Age activities of sharpening a stone. 

Went to the National Archaeological Museum in the morning. Daniel liked the first part of the NAM with bronze daggers, gold masks and coverings for burial. And I loved the Antikythera Ephebe, the bronze statue of the youth from the Antikythera shipwreck.

Came early in the morning to the center to stroll the Dionysiou Areopagitou street and it was so cool! Really enjoyed walking it with the Acropolis in the backdrop. 

Went for a run 2.5 mi at around 10am – was so unpleasantly hot. The Friday market was already bustling on our street. 

Went to the Edem beach. Lovely water. A bit stony bottom but almost no waves originally, and then a bit more waves later on.

Did the Free Athens Tour for almost 3 hours. Was informative and fun. 

Flight departed at 1:30 am. Thank God on time.  Highest Point: We could see the Acropolis while drinking wine on the balcony.  Lowest Point: The airline did not even offer a token food (like a small pack of pretzels) or water. Had to buy everything. A bit annoying even for the economy airlines considering 9.5

Finished packing. Yes, we only have three backpacks for our world travels. And those include all electronics. #minimalists
