We have to do it again?

So on our free day today there were six of us that went on quite an adventure all the way from the new Olypmic stadium all the way to the waterfront at the end of Athens. Those of us out of the adventure were Hannah, Jordyn, Eric, Robert, Ivory, and I; on this adventure we had a quite a dealing with the metro of Athens. So the metro of Athens was the cleanest part of the city I have seen thus far. I heard that they took pride in their metro and they weren't kidding. I saw very little trash or graffiti while we were in there. The trip started off at Monaistraki and from there the line that would have been a STRAIGHT SHOT to both of our destinations was out. We had to transfer from the blue line to the red line at Syntagma, then transfer from the red line to the green line at Alliki. This took us all the way to the Irini stop where the Olympics were held. You can read Ivory's blog for details about the complex; very interesting how dead it was. Now we were wondering... we have to do it again? The answer was yes; the line was out in both directions for the short duration that made our straight pass impossible. We had to go to Alliki via the green line, switch to the red line at Alliki go to Monaistraki and switch to the blue line, then to Syntagma and switch back to the Green one that was giving us all the trouble. We then went to the second stop from the end and sat to eat a gorgeous dinner on the Athenian waterfront. After our bellies were full we then proceeded to get on the light rail to go to a dessert place some had the night before. We then headed home via light rail which dropped us off near our apartments. At this point we weren't thinking to ourselves we have to do it again? Now we were thinking when can I do this again...?
