It's All Greek to Me...seriously

We made it! After an 11 hour flight and some serious jet lag we finally made it to Athens, Greece this morning. After making it into town from the airport and regrouping at the hostel, Matt, Andrew, Beth, and I went out exploring. We walked through a flea market and attemped to find Plaka (we are still skeptical as to what we found) and ended up eating a late lunch. I had stuffed peppers and they were really good (especially compared to the gross airplane food). After lunch a girl came up to Beth and I and was like are you...Beth?? Long story short the girl came on one of Beth's tours and is coming to Auburn next year! She was with her family traveling around Greece for Vacation. We also met an LSU family from New Orleans that now lives in The Netherlands on the Metro and got another War Eagle from a guy in a Wake Forrest shirt as we were leaving the metro station.

Late afternoon we didn't do much, as it took a lot for us to stay awake. It took us quite a while to figure out where things were and how to figure out where we were since reading things in greek is extremely hard. The only greek letters we can read are ones covered by the sororities and fraternities at Auburn...pitiful we know. So the saying is definetly true, it's all greek to me. We have really know idea whats going on half the time but we are all good going with the flow.

We did figure out what we are doing tomorrow and are going to bed early since we are going to the Acropolis first thing tomorrow morning. Befire we came back to the hostel we did find a nice park that we sat in and all drank a beer from the street vendor. Our hostel is really nice, except for the fact that we are staying next door to the main building were there is no elevator. 4 flights later, we got my bag upstairs and are hoping it will tone our legs for Santorini.

The biggest perk to our hostel is that it is central location and has a rooftop bar with a great view of the Acropolis. I am currently using the hostel's computer so when mine picks up wifi I will be sure to add some pictures! I cannot believe our journey is finally beginning!

Peace, Love, Greece
