Last Day

We rented a car today and finally drove to Delphi. Unfortunately it
was cold and overcast and crowded. Rather than be wet and freezing we
chose to drive on. As always it was an adventure.

We wound up in the coastal town of Itea where we had an amazing lunch
and met Anna, a local baker who was originally from NYC.

We drove to the Rion bridge which connects mainland Greece with the
Peleponese its an award winning suspension bridge. I'll post a pic of
the bridge next.

After the bridge we checked out what we thought was the small village
of Patras but it was really a big city. We wanted to see their winery
but after our previous experience with a distillery decided to cut our
losses. We circles around and crossed the Corinthian Canal and then
back into Athens.

After much trouble returning the rental car (we'll explain later) we
hit the Plaka for dinner, bought a few last souveniers and packed up.
Tomorrow we have 20 houts of travel to look fotwatd to. We leave at
7:30am local time and land in NYC at 2:45 EST. Then we split ip and
head to OH and FL. Hopefully we'll all be home by 10pm EST which is
6am Greek time ...

We hope you've enjoyed our daily updates. We sure had fun making them.
We'll do some massive updates soon with all the fun details, tips
we've learned and of course all 2,000 pictures :) so check back soon.
