we made it!

after 19 hours of traveling, we finally made it to athens! good trip so far:

-ate delicious lamb kebab, really good tzatziki, souvlaki, pitas, gyro
-saw the beautiful Acropolis, Parthenon, lots of ancient ruins, fun markets, 1 Starbucks!
-lots of walking around this HUGE city, blisters galore, but it's worth it
-super paranoid about people stealing things/bags/etc but paranoia pays off, nothing stolen yet!
-successfully rented a car for our 3 day trip to Corinth, Epiduras, Ancient Olympia, and Nafplio - we leave today!
-no major jet lag! but feet got swollen from the flight.
-lots of sunshine and sunscreen
-pictures galore - already took 490! yikes!
-decent hostel so far - 15 EUR a night at Hotel Zorbas
-strange Greek boys called at us "Jackie Chan!" when they saw us - that's all they know about China

that's it for now. pictures later! bye!
