europe backpacking trip/mochilao 2003

athens-mykonos

i spent 40 brilliant days in greece last summer with 6 great girls and it was great to be back again... clara had never been so the first day in athens we went to the parthenon (where we ran into the entire brazilian beach football team) and plaka, an older part of downtown athens with winding streets, older buildings, and millions of little stores. we met up with charis from last year and went to venue, our favourite athenian club... only to find that it wasn't as fun as i remembered (i almost fell asleep).

next we took a ferry to mykonos, where we ran into silvio, the former manager of the space club who remembered me from last year. needless to say clara & i did not spend one cent on clubs or drinks during our stay.

the best view.

from the parthenon, you can see all of athens.
the brazilian beach football team.

apparently one of them, nenem, is really famous--the pele of beach football. i, of course, had no idea who he was.

strike a pose.

before a night in mykonos.
me in mykonos.

yes, it's really that beautiful.

the acropolis.

i'd seen it only a year before, but it still struck me...
off to venue!
