All good things must come to an end

But to start, the events of last night! Over 98% of Athenians are Orthodox Christian, and it was Orthodox Good Friday. A crowd of worshippers, with effigy and candles, walked our street last night, singing hymns and calling out the faithful. Pretty neat.

Today we took a hop on bus to the beaches, but it was windy and cool so we simply did the loop. One final delicious Greek lunch, and it was time to wander back and start packing. Our ride to the airport comes at 3 am, and we understand that we should expect a lot of celebratory noise like church bells and fireworks at midnight for Orthodox Easter.
