Location: Athens, Greece
Today, we had a great time exploring Athens. First, we went to the National Archaeological Museum and got to enhance our classic Greek Mythology by viewing the Mask of Agamemnon. Another highlight of the museum was the bronze statue of what we thought was Poseidon or Zeus. After, we strolled around the Athens Flea Market. Everyone bought a nice souvenir, and I had the most amazing spinach pie and sesame bread twist. The group got a chance to truly get a feel for Greek culture. After we finished exploring the flea market, we went back to Argo and began our boat intros. Everyone was given their PFDs and had a quick brief chat about watch teams and the names of all the sails and lines. Later on that evening, we continued studying our Greek Classic Mythology and wrote more journal entries. We finished our action-packed day with a squeeze question before dinner: ‘If you could turn into any Greek God overnight, who would it be?” For dinner, we had a very spicy curry chicken. Now, everyone around Argo is preparing to wake up at 5:00 am for our first sail! P.S. Shout out to Mike, aka ‘Boss-man” Happy Birthday!
