1st Stop--Athens, Greece

I could go into detail of every minute of everyday, but I will stick to the highlights and a few pictures from each location. Although I will start by saying a "thank you" to my parents for facilitating one of the most enjoyable and memorable occasions of our lives. There really is something wild and magic about Africa.

Back to Greece...

• Our hotel was in a great location--right in the heart of the city and we could walk to everything. It also had a great spa with a gorgeous pool and themed sauna and steam rooms. I had never seen anything like it before and it was great after a long flight.
  
• Mr. B Clinton was staying at our hotel. No sighting though and I was a little disappointed that the heightened security was not for me.
• Loved relearning all the history around this amazing place and architecture.
• Grafitti covered this city. It was everywhere.
• Great shopping, = to NY or SF right out the front of the hotel.
• Last but not least, the people watching was unparalleled to anywhere I have been. Their unique sense of fashion was so interesting. I wish I would have snapped a few pics. Their hair down to their toes were all in what appeared to be costume.

Now a few pictures..

It was everywhere--a little sad

These churches were scattered around the city. This one was surrounded with modern shopping buildings. Quite the standout.
