I can't believe that after this weekend, I only have 2 weeks left in Greece!  Time has gone by so quickly.  I have to say that I am going to be glad to be done with classes and go to Poland.
On Wednesday, we took a trip to Corinth, which was an important city during ancient times.  We got shown around by the archeologist who excavated the site, which was great because our current professor does not know too much about ancient Greece (he's an English professor).  We climbed to the top of Acrocorinth.  The view was amazing!

Yesterday, we had a free morning and wanted to play volleyball, but as there was another general strike yesterday, the courts at the National Gardens were closed.  We played at a park nearby for a while but got kicked out by the mothers there.  Then we tried to play at the Stadium, but again we got kicked out.  Not a very successful morning for volleyball...
This morning, we had a walking tour of modern Athens.  We saw the Zappeion, Parliament, the National Library, the Academy, the National Museum, and the cathedral.  Most of us are very familiar with these sites since we pass them a lot when we walk around Athens.  Our professor didn't know very much about the sites, so it was a tiring morning.  Tonight there's a talk about the economic crisis in Greece that I think will be very interesting.  I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
