Around Athens In Three Hours

My voyage on-board the Celebrity Infinity came to an end, docking at the port of Piraeus, just southwest of the city of Athens. I have talked about the Celebrity Infinity in two previous blog posts but for this post, I am going to talk about our brief tour of Athens before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight. While on our city tour in Rhodes, our taxi driver connected us to a tour company in Athens who was able to show us around the city for a few hours before taking us to the airport (for a reasonable rate).

 

Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer Thoughts

If you have been living under a rock for the last little while, we finally got to see the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. I did not think I was going to see a GTA VI in my lifetime, considering how long ago the initial release of GTA V was. I am so genuinely excited and hyped over this announcement and the trailer that 2025 cannot come soon enough. I just want to offer my brief thoughts on the trailer and offer my general thoughts on the Grand Theft Auto franchise to this point.

A Beach Day in Nafplio, Greece

Our last port that the Celebrity Infinity stopped at (before the end of our voyage) was the Greek city of Nafplio. We needed a day to just relax at the beach, and Nafplio did not look like there was much going on in terms of interesting things to see, so this was our designated beach day. This was another of those stops where we had to take a tender boat to get to the actual port of Nafplio, and the views from the ship and the tender boat were impressive. There was hilly terrain with the occasional fortified structure.

2023-2024 CONCACAF Nations League Quarter-Final - Canada vs. Jamaica (Post-Game Thoughts)

I went to the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final between Canada and Jamaica last week, and the match was wildly entertaining (especially in the second-half). Unfortunately, Canada fell to a shock 3-2 defeat to the Reggae Boyz and they were now out of the Nations League tournament. Here are my thoughts and observations on the match and everything around me. 

The Rug Salesmen of Türkiye (Türkiye Part 2)

This is the second part of my day in Türkiye. The first Türkiye blog post is here. By this point, we have explored the ruins of Ephesus, but we still have another whole half of a day to spend in this country. There will be more exploring of ruins and religious sites, but there was a surprise waiting for us after we finished eating lunch.
