Kristen and I arrived in Athens last night and we were EXHAUSTED! Not including cat naps on the plane, we stayed up for a total of 32 hours. Recently, I stayed up for 35 hours to finish my senior design project, so I had some practice handling myself without too much sleep ;)
On the metro, I ran into my friend Ginny (Delta Gamma sister!), who is visiting Greece with Campus Crusade. We did not plan this and had not been in contact since about a week prior to my departure from Austin. It's amazing that we ended up in the same place at the same time! I'm so glad we did and I got to see her :)
Kristen and I visited the Acropolis today, which was impressive but most interesting not because of its ruins but because of its people watching! There were tourists there from all over the world - Brazil, Germany, and even Texas - and seeing them all in the same place made the world feel quite small. I have traveled before and this was not a new experience, but I enjoy it every time it happens to me :)
I ate souvlaki today (Kristen says it's like a hamburger in the form of a hotdog) and it was absolutely delicious! I also tasted Mythos, the native beer, and it was excellent and quite refreshing.
Tomorrow, Kristen and I will be riding a ferry to Mykonos. We reserved our spot in a beachside hotel there...I cannot wait to jump in the Mediterranean!
