Day 4 Athtens, Greece

1. Woke up early enough to go to the marathon course tour. I actually got up this time. 20 Euro. Lame.
2. On my way to the museum, at 8:30am, I almost got ran over. Literally. It was so close. And I was so lucky. The Greek driver who looked like a dad came out his car and started yelling at me. I was scared shitless. I couldn't say anything but sorry. Everyone was looking at me. "I was so stupid for not paying attention and that I can't do that in Greece," I kept telling myself. I was really lucky that I didn't get hit.
3. He let me go eventually after yelling and pointing and blah, blah, blah. What do I do about it: I just went ahead and started my day, thinking, "Oh, life. You wouldn't be as interesting if things were always orderly. Thank you. "
4. The marathon tour was a joke. I was asleep the entire time.
5. I went back to the museum after the tour and bought marathon race souvenirs. I like the stuff I got.
6. I also went back to Syntagma Square and did more shopping.
7. By 3:00pm, I was back to my dorm. And I am very happy about this.
8. Showered and took a nap. Woke up 2 hours later feeling rejuvenated.
9. Dinner with French lady around 6:00pm. Another Australian chick joined us and we all chatted about life, traveling, and relationships and other random stuff. I felt like a dumb ass not knowing the American political system. The French lady knew so much more. Oh, and it turns she used to work for a law firm for 10 years and went to school in Berkley. She's seriously amazing. (I am in my bed typing this and she just gave me a bunch of stuff from France just right now. Tomorrow she will leave me a France t-shirt. Apparently when she travels, she likes to exchange t-shirts or give France t-shirts away. For kicks).
10. It's now 9:30pm and I am getting ready for bed. I have to wake up at 6:00am tomorrow. The race is at 9:00am. It starts in Marathon and will end up in Athens.
11. I plan on praying tonight.
12. Good night and I love you.
13. Oh, oh, and, and....I received flowers today. The note on the flowers said something, "...finish strong." To my flower giver: You melted me, along with my heart the instant I saw them. Thank you. I will be running tomorrow thinking of you and how wonderful you made me feel. I am simply lucky and you are wonderful. I named the stuffed animal Captain Mighty. He and I will be snuggling tonight.
14. Last but not the least: I just bought my one-way 7-hour Crete ferry ticket and booked a two-day hotel there. I leave at 10:00pm tomorrow. =)
