Thursday night, 3 days away from the Athens Classic Marathon 2010


The jet lag kicked in but we got hungry and we needed to find a place to eat. Everyone told us to have dinner at Plaka and we went into the city to explore it and reach the Greek Taverna for food. Like in every city, people do not know how to give directions, their directions are given with meters and measuring the distance in minutes. “ You walk direct for 3 minutes about 200 meters and then turn left”. 
We found a desolated square with nice restaurants and I wondered where are all the other runners or the people? We had a nice dinner and we got to see our first ancient ruin, on the left is the Library of Hadrian. Athens is beautiful by night and all the monuments are lighted up very well, it brings a magical touch to the city. On the right is the Parliament building at Syntagma Square.
