Athens, Thursday Morning

That morning, the school packed up on Zakynthos and hopped into a portal, en route to Athens.

Too bad someone hadn't checked the itinerary.

The sun shone high in the sky and you could still hear the surf in the distance, that was the difference. But all you needed to do was see one donkey cart and realize: you were far away from home.

Welcome to Athens, sometime before 400 B.C.

Enjoy yourselves?

Athens, Thursday Evening

The sun set above a city that was, improbably, full of people who spoke English with a heavy Greek accent - at least until you thought about it for five seconds and realized Portalocity was involved.

But that aside, the sun was setting, and the Greeks retreated to their dining halls to feast and talk endlessly before bedtime.
