Hey! I'm a Spice! - Wednesday, July 8th

Tuesday, I was able to walk over to one of the original areas where my group shopped a couple weeks ago.  I even found the souvlaki place again.  Yum!  After a break back at the hotel I ended up having dinner in the hotel to make sure I wasn't on my feet too much.

building built around it.
Today I was a bit more adventurous.  I explored past the Starbucks and roamed in and out of little passage ways.  I'm not even sure exactly where I ended up but all I had to do was have people point me in the direction of Syntagma Square and I was able to find my way to the hotel.  Woohoo!

I made a first attempt to pack things....it wasn't a pretty sight.  My bags are stuffed to the brim and I have things that don't fit.  Luckily, I must not be the only tourist that has this issue because in the cutesy alleyways filled with tourist shops, there are luggage shops too.  I intend to figure out what size bag I need to purchase (it will need to be a carryon since I already have two checked bags...someday I will learn not to pack so much to begin with....)

On my journeys today, I found a spice pack with my name on it.  Cool!  If I didn't have bags that were already full, I would have bought it but with my luck, it would cause the zippers on my bags to burst open from being too packed.
