Day 20- May this day forever life in infamy!

With 2 hours of sleep under our belts the four of us headed to the Mykonos airport Athens bound. This is the beginning of the trail of tears for Emily and Jodi. Please don't confuse these with tears of joy.

Emotional Breakdown #1 (6:20am): on the plane from Mykonos to Athens

Emotional Breakdown #2 (9:30am): at the metro standing at the foot of the endless staircase, knowing we were doomed to carry our bags all the way to the top.


Quote from Harrison: "Have mercy on me Zeus!"


Emotional Breakdown #3 (10:00am): laying in bed at our shanty hotel in Athens re-analyzing our purpose for taking this trip

Quote from Harrison: "What made you guys think this was a good idea?"


Emotional Breakdown #4 (6:00pm): returning to our living quarters only to find a congregation of flies in our room from leaving the windows open all day. In tears we attempted to exterminate these insects by using any methods possible (towels, pillows, jackets)

Harrison's response at this time: "You guys should really think about coming home."


Trying to enjoy our time in Athens:
