Today we went to see the Acropolis. The Acropolis is a HUGE place with a beautiful temple at the top called the Parthenon. The Parthenon is different than the temples in Egypt because it looks way more newer. It is a lot more finished looking even though it is being repaired. It was very windy there and you could hear the wind scream through the temple.

After visiting the Acropolis, we went back to the center of Athens and Kostas helped me find a pair of sunglasses. Then we went to find some lunch. On the way, Kostas surprised me by going to a barber shop. I had very, very, very, long hair since I haven’t had a haircut since we left Scotts Valley (2 months ago!). The man that cut my hair was actually a person who styles hair for models for magazines my mom said I can’t mention.

I got a great haircut and it felt very, very good. After that, we went downstairs to an underground restaurant. My dad ordered tiny fish that came whole, heads, eyes, tails, the whole fish. Kostas promised me a super scoop of ice cream if I would eat the fish whole. So I did. And I had three more because he told me I could have more ice cream if I ate them. The brain of the fish was very, very squishy and the tail was crunchy. They were very tasty and I would eat them again for more ice cream!

That night we had a really nice dinner with Kostas’ mom. I had chicken and potatoes. After dinner, I got my ice cream payoff. I only had one scoop, so Kostas still owes me more ice cream soon. It was a full day and we went to sleep.
