Souvenir shopping

We try not to do too much souvenir shopping, but its hard to resist a few items in each city.  I had intended to buy Delaney some books about Greek history and mythology.  She really enjoyed the books we got in Rome on ancient Roman times.  At the Acropolis museum, they had a huge pile of children's books in Greek, but only one in English.  Big disappointment.  We got the one and decided to keep on looking.  We asked the hotel clerk about bookstores and he steered us in the right direction.  After three more stops, we were still disappointed...This was a surprise because in Rome they had many books in every language imaginable.  We'll keep looking, but I'm not holding my breath at this point. We found her a small bronze owl to add to her animal sculpture collection instead.

The Plaka is the shopping and eating district and we enjoyed exploring around it.  I had to laugh when I saw at least 4 different fur shops there...Fur in Greece!?
