1. I am drinking the most delicious thing at La Prima Tazza: the iced mango matcha latte. omg.
2. The bachelorette is still in Crete, yay!! But they are continuing to only hang out in the corner next to Agios Nikolaus. I mean, the entire island, every corner is amazing. They coulda moved around a little. Oh well.
3. I have 1.5 days of summer left. I was supposed to be done blogging our trip by now. Let's get going with today's entry. Not a whole lot to tell today. It was mostly a travel day.
We had a lazy morning on Milos. Ate breakfast at the hotel (which was above average with our provided breakfast places), walked around, ate a leisurely lunch, then drove 5 minutes to the airport. No unusual happenings to report. One of my favorite things to do is just wander around with the handsome husband, so it was a pleasant and enjoyable morning.

Athens airport
Landed in airport and easily arranged for our rental car. This is my 2nd of 3 encounters with the Athens airport, and all of them quite pleasant. Then we drove a couple hours to Delphi. It was interesting to see the change from islands of Greece to mainland of Greece. For one, the highway out of Athens is long, smooth, immaculately taken care of, and toll stops EVERYWHERE. We probably spent 40 euros on the toll alone. Well, at least we know the money is going to good use! That highway is perfect. As we headed to Delphi, which is up in the mountains, the terrain and temperature quickly changed. We followed a mountain most of the way to Delphi with a cloud that traveled along with it and wouldn't let us see the peak. It entertained and aggravated us for most of the way. The air was very crisp and refreshing. We made a habit of keeping the windows open in our hotel room to let in the yummy greek air, and I definitely got cold in Delphi!!
hotel password (first priority: wifi passwords!!) and breakfast from 7:30 - 9:30, but we are going to be on ancient Delphi's doorstep tomorrow at 7am! No hotel breakfast for us! That's ok. This place smelled so heavily of air freshener, WHICH THEY DON'T NEED IF THEY WOULD JUST OPEN A WINDOW (yummy mountain air), I expect the food might taste of it!

Then we headed to dinner. It was a cute little taverna (what the greeks call restaurants), where we were basically the only customers at the time. I had my first Souvlaki, which is basically a kabob. It was ok. Chris and Brent drank beer called Delphi, which I can only assume was brewed there. It came in a fancy bottle.

Then back to the hotel to go to bed and curl up under the fuzzy blanket I found in the closet.
