Top 10 Things We Discovered on the Athens Cultural Scavenger Hunt

1. Ouzo at 12pm in the afternoon is not the best drink of choice

2. Hiking up the streets of the Plaka was more of a workout than an intense P90x session

3. It takes some serious skill and charm to bargain with a Plaka shop owner

4. The Greek “kefi” dance is best suited for those with good coordination and rhythm… our group got off to a slow start with a bit of a struggle

5. Postcards are about the only thing you can buy in bulk for 3.30 Euro

6. We had to think back to our Elementary school days to create our pottery resembling the ancient Greek vases

7. We learned the proper technique of toga assemblage, which will come in handy for future toga parties

8. We successfully used a compass to locate various monuments around the city

9. We now know how to differentiate different Athenian temples based on their ground plan

10. We mastered the art of Greek salad making
