Below I admit that Mary Pat and I had to walk the entire way up Athens’ Mount Lycavittos. I also admit that we never could find the funicular that’s supposed to serve those who just aren’t up to the trek physically (which I was pretty sure that we weren’t, though we fooled both of us).

But then while searching for Athens stuff online I came across a blog by blogger named Anastasia, and I didn’t feel so bad. In a post dated last July 4, Anastasia wrote about strolling through the center of Athens and not being able to find the Acropolis! I admire her willingness to be that honest.
