I picked up Bryon and Emily from the airport at about 9 am and after they deposited their luggage at the American School, we headed over to the National Museum.
We went through the excellent Antikythera shipwreck exhibit.

THE Antikythera mechanism!! |
Later that night Cathy, Joseph, and Willah surprised me with a gift of a strawberry foot with chocolate toes ice cream treat. I've been looking for this particular confectionary ice cream since October, all over Greece. It's advertised on ice cream freezers but I had never actually found any in stock. I had mentioned this during our museum adventures the other day and so the kids had been keeping their eye out for me. They are so nice!
