Monday we spent the day in Athens. I woke early, again, to finish writing my paper for class. Once finished (and just barely in time), we went to the CIG to meet our second professor, Maria, and learn about the timeline for this second class of the Classical Era. We had our introductions, talked about the class, assigned presentation topics (mine is the Pnyx and I don't know what it is yet-sorry), and went to lunch. After lunch, it began to rain just in time for us to walk to the National Archaeological Museum across town for class. We spent a couple of hours there, and then we got the evening off to go to the different markets to get food for dinner. On our way back to the hotel, it started downpouring, so Kylie, Jacquelyn and I stood under an overhang to wait it out. I think met my friend-we'll call him "Rob". So Rob asked me where we were from (he def. wasn't Greek but I am not knowledgeable enough to know where he was from), what we were doing in Greece, if we were enjoying it..etc etc. Then, out of nowhere, Rob asked me if I knew that the Middle East puts lasers and satellites in space that are connected to the American computers and everytime an American searches for something on the internet, the people in the Middle East can read it........then he asked me to not tell anyone (as his eyes darted all over the place)....again, another social cue decided that it was time to leave and find another overhang to stand under. Jacquelyn, Kylie, and I decided to step into the Noodle Bar to get drinks, but eventually ordered some food. It was really tasty Chinese food!! By the time we were finished, we returned to Dioskouros, showered, packed our bags for the next morning, and helped prepare the family dinner of Latina fajitas (we made the salsa!)
