More cleaning up. Rob and the girls headed out to run lots of errands. I went down to Oakhurst to volunteer for 3.5 hours at the Earth Day Festival. I was asleep on my feet. When I got home, I crashed on the couch. Rob took Camille to a friend’s for the evening. Rob and

School and work. Chloe didn’t feel well enough to go to gymnastics, so we went to Kroger instead. At home, we worked on cleaning up all around the house. We made homemade pizzas for dinner and then got to work on dyeing eggs. I still feel awful – maybe allergies?

I’m suffering jetlag. Woke at 3:30 and had a cloudy head all day (or that could be the pollen?). Chloe was feeling so awful that she stayed home from school for the day. Since she was home, I didn’t go to the Red Cross. Camille came home and did some homework. I fell asleep early.

Sluggish all day, including Phelix. Girls off to school. I worked and caught up on other things, then did carpool. Chloe managed to make it through gymnastics. I went to sleep quite early. Gazoo seems to be quite happy to have us home again.

Up at 4:30 (Greece time). Dressed, downstairs, ride to the airport. The lines were confusing, but between the girls and me, we got everything set quickly. The flight to Athens was 30 minutes long. In Athens, we found a nice corner in a cafe until Rob arrived. Check-in, time in the Sky Lounge, then a

Up a little earlier. Breakfast, buses to Akrotiri. A stroll round the archaeological site and then a hike over the mountain to Red Beach. A bus trip back to Thira with a literal pit stop in Pyrgos. Dinner in Thira as the sun went down, then a missed bus. Souvenirs, taxi, arrangements and bed.

Early morning in order to catch our tour bus to Delphi. A lot of waiting. A 2.5 hour trip to Mount Parnassus. A wet and slightly rushed trip through Delphi and the museum. A so-so lunch. A long bus ride back to Athens. A stroll to the Japanese store and the mini-market.
