So while Kevin was off enjoying himself in Santorini...

Christina and I decided to check out more of the wine and food scene that we've come to love. First stop - back to the ghetto - Omonia. We work with a boy named Costas who loves to practice his English with us. He won't admit it to us, but we heard from another girl in the office that he wants to be fluent so he can hit on the hot American ladies who will come to Greece this summer to vacation.

Anyhoo - when we told Costas we had been exploring Omonia at night for dinner he about fell out of his seat on the corporate bus. Then he remembered that Americans eat dinner at 7 and not 10:30 at night like the Greeks so he decided that we would be safe there, we're just not allowed to stay there late.

So it's Tuesday and Christina and I decide to hit up another restaurant in the Athens Top 10 book. It's called Yiantes. The majority of veggies used are organic and they have wheat pasta on the menu so this place is definitely out of the norm in Greece. I introduced Christina to tomato balls which she was a huge fan of. About an hour after our dinner i was expecting my body to shut down from a lack of cheese and meat, but surprisingly I did alright. My cholesterol will be sky high by the time i get back to the states.

Nothing late for us tonight - we're hoping to be super productive at work tomorrow so we can finish our business report and not have to come to work on Friday. I don't know what I'm going to do when I actually have to work a full 5 day week...
