1. You know about the land (see previous post) - still ours, still the greatest thing since forever.
2. Helen left for Athens - we threw a fab surprise party for her, excellent food, company and weather (massive lightning storm, no less) - limited edition video and recipes still to come...
3. Lia's end-of-year school performance - check her out as "pouli loco loco" (crazy crazy bird) Note also the emergency make-up job done with oil pastels and lipstick - always handy items to carry in one's purse...
4. Lia's Ballet School Review at the National Theater - pix and video to come.
5. Our big trip to Athens - was originally intended as an anniversary getaway without kids, but turned into a family-free-for-all when the Mark Knopfler concert was moved 2 days later and we lost our babysitting! A great time nonetheless, the photos speak for themselves.
On the train down - the ipod and play area made up for our 6:30 wake-up call.
Perfect weather in the afternoon - not too many tourists and a good walk before dinner.
In our hotel room - a great chance to play trampoline (didn't you always wonder why hotel beds sag in the middle?)
The view from the breakfast room of the Astor Hotel - a great place to stay in the center of the city
On a clear day, Athens is gorgeous
Especially seen from the Acropolis
On the way back to the hotel, we found a beautiful park
then it was off to the show!
During the first song
During the fourth song
(here the videos were intended to wow you, but after 20 minutes of uploading - during which i managed to brush my teeth, get ready for bed, and wait, sweating and swatting mosquitoes - there's nothing but an error message. Humph. Will have to refine my video technique. Oh, well, I'll keep trying. Off to bed - nighty night!
