Thessaloniki, part 2

We took it easy on Monday because of the long week in Corfu. We took the hotel shuttle into the center and strolled amongst the shops. I needed a couple of things because a lot of what I brought, even light-weight capris, was simply too hot for the weather. I got a skirt and a dress which would get me through my remaining presentations. A bit after noon, we took the shuttle back and got a cold drink and a sandwich at a place next to the hotel. We went back to the pool, where we relaxed until dinner with some friends. We ate at a pleasant place in the Ladadika district and topped off the evening with a Metaxa!

Tuesday was filled with conference stuff (I presented two posters), but we did have a lovely dinner at a restaurant near the conference center. We shared a salad and each had the fish of the day--smallish and 12 Euro each ($14.50) but incredibly fresh!





Wednesday was a presentation day (I presented a session on Technology and Teacher Education) but we did have a nice lunch in the Ladaika district at a restaurant specializing in Crete cuisine. That evening we took a walking tour of Roman and Byzantine historical monuments of Thessaloniki.

Thursday was a VERY long day, starting at 8 am. with Greg's presentation on Sibelius's Finlandia. We attended several sessions in the afternoon and topped it off with dinner at the seaside restaurant with old and new friends from the conference.
