We spent today doing the typical tourist stuff in Athens: Acropolis, Temple of Athena Nike, Parthenon, Hadrian's Gate, etc...definitely cool ruins. The afternoon consisted of more errands as we tried to replace our stolen camera and buy some euro shirts for Andy at H&M (editor's note: we originally had tow cameras to start the trip, a Canon Rebel and a small point and shoot camera.  The smaller one was the one that was stolen, so we still had the rebel to take pictures.  Also, H&M XL shirts are not made for people like Andy.)
 
After all our errand, we headed to the airport for our quick flight to Istanbul.  In the visa line, we struck up a conversation with the only other American couple we saw...after playing 20 questions, we discovered that the girl went to Holy Cross and is friends with Mike and Katie (her name is Liz Tuttella).  Small world...we have run into them every day since we have been in Istanbul too.

I could't tell if that was Doric or Ionic scaffolding...
