Athens Georgia. Day 9. 17th April.

Up for the last day of the conference. A change of room so we walked to the new building. Georgia Uni is huge but very beautiful.  They keep the same sort of bricks and similar designs and the gardens are lovely. We concluded the conference and a few left. I always find this a bit sad as we really are like a big family. So hugs and promises to meet in Spain next year!!

After another delicious lunch we walked back to our hotel then 7 of us met and in 2 cars explored Athens old southern houses. We are talking prior to the civil war. Many have been moved to make more room for Uni buildings. Check out the music box with records like a pionola roll.

Back to meet for dinner and 12 of us got the shuttle bus to a downtown  restaurant.  Lovely food, I had shrimp pasta. But so busy and noisy. 5 of us walked back as a beautiful  night. Very mild and still light. All through the Uni grounds and finally back again. I have packed ready to leave tomorrow. A few of us go on the cultural tour to Atlanta where I will stay ready to fly out the following day for Lisbon.
