and Ben feel good
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020436
</PHOTO>
though this missed photo 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020437
</PHOTO>
made me want to take a self portrait
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020438
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020439

and then to capture Sarah with her last freddicino
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020440

as Ben had iced tea

../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020442
</PHOTO>
as I had Coca Cola Light
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020443
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020444
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020445

and the girls seemed to be enjoying the last of Athens

../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020447
</PHOTO>
even as I went to the bathroom and realized that a flash would be necessary
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020448
</PHOTO>
to capture this sign
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020449
</PHOTO>
and then returned to Jane and Sarah
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020450
</PHOTO>
as Suzanne was investigating Ben's toes.

On our way back to the hotel for a final time, we noted the archeology at the Roman Agora as diggers were working at reconstruction

and then saw a few cows
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020457
</PHOTO>
and the statue of the archbishop (or so we think)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020458

<p>
Once at the airport, I pushed the wrong button so that this photo
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020459
</PHOTO>
actually came out as a movie
<MOVIE>

../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020459

and then a real photo.

Our photo was on the board

so after waiting in line

and a cheese pie (feta with tomato)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020468

all for a reasonable price
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020469

before we headed to the plane and had a snack
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020470

<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/GrKenya/07.03-04.06AthensToBrusselsToNairobi//P1020472
