Aegina!!!!!!! Day 3

This morning we enjoyed, what was supposed to be, sausage rolls for breakfast. Quickly after biting into them we discovered that they were actually hot dogs in a croissant. After leaving this small cafe accross the street from the Metro, we hopped on and traveled all the way to Piraeus. An hour trip aboard the Metro. After arriving in Piraeus we got some tickets and were well on our way to Aegina by way of the ferry. There were some beautiful views leaving the Athens harbor. When we arrived we snapped a few photos of the indescribable senary... and then went to get some brunch! Mom found a cute little place that we, at first were a little worried about, but ended up to be one of our favorite experiences in Greece. We were seated on a tiny veranda overlooking the bustling streets and beautiful ocean. Every couple of minutes we would cease our chating and just stare into the horizon. Moments like these are the ones you never want to end. This feeling cannot be described. We explored some of the back streets, but soon after found Moped renting. Unfortunatly, mother could not ride because she had left her driving license at the house. However, Lissy and I hopped on one, and dad and Abby on the other while mom hiked to a near by temple. We rushed by sparkling beachs, peered over towering cliffs, enjoyed the cool wind, explored small Greecian neighborhood streets, and admired Aegina in all its glory!!! The views were incomparable, and the feeling of independence incomprehendable.

We Mopeded for approximatly two hours. Then we met up with mom and enjoyed a cappucino and some cokes before boarding the ferry back to Athens. We also bought some worry beads or kompoloi. These are traditional greek passtimes or finger trinkets that are a must buy when visiting Greece. Lissy, Abby and I went for the cheap ones so that we could play with them. However, mother got the expensive coral ones. She says it was a buy out of stress and dissapointment, of course referring to not getting to ride the Moped, and being worried about us on them. When the next ferry arrived we jumped on it and rewinded, ferry then Metro. We ate dinner at the same, pettite taverna that we, all except Elisabeth for we ate her food, enjoyed two days ago. Here is a blurry snapshot of the taverna.We are here again about to sleep, for we have a full day tomorrow at Sunion, Posiadons temple.
