So we finally got into our apartment around lunchish on Friday, which happened to be Oxi Day. It's a national holiday to celebrate when the Greeks said "no" to Fascism during WWII. In reality it's an excuse not to go to work and party a lot, kind of like Memorial Day, or Labor Day, or the 4th of July.....
The main problem with Oxi Day is that all grocery stores are shut down. We had a loaf of bread and a tub of strawberry jelly (aka pop-tart filling) that was supposed to last us the whole day. Kayla ate all of her ration for breakfast using the logic that she'd be really full now and then not get hungry later. Right Kayla... Sienna and I tried our darndest to space out our eating so that we wouldn't get hungry, but really, who were we kidding? So after a shower and a nap, we went out looking for a grocery store that by some grace of God was open. What we found was a tiny, borderline sketchy Asian market. Good enough.
I bought ramen. It tasted like Pad Thai so I was more than happy, but I can't tell if that was because I had been eating bread and jelly for 6 days or if it actually tasted good. I'll have to go back and get some more to know for sure.
I spent the rest of the day napping, eating noodles, and watching Rome on Molly's computer. So much for getting out and exploring the new city.
