Final day of work. I hear that there is a big party that happens here that involves kegs and cases. I think it goes on during the closing ceremony. So I am stuck here on the last night, but que sera. The other three people that were coming to Olympia with us are not coming now. It will make it a little more expensive for Joel and I, but we'll have more freedom to do what we want. They wanted to stay around Athens and just do day trips was the reason.

The highlight of today was that I found out that the train that connects Olympia and Athens only comes twice daily but the connecting trains to Pirgos are several times a day. The short and long of it (mainly the short) is that we can see Corinth on the way back from Olympia. That frees up another day, so Joel and I are planning on going to Andros which is a 2 hour slow ferry from Rafina (20 min away). So I'm psyched! I wanted to go to Andros in the first place. Two other Asburians, Jon and Luke recommended it, too. They went around on mopeds, which I think would be great. So yeah, that's Andros, Olympia, and Corinth all in three days. Got to love it!
