Greece

So....we're here in Greece! Stayed up all night Sunday/Monday morning and headed for the airport a bit after 5 am. Landed at LaGuardia in NYC about 10:30 am, then transferred to JFK, leaving at 4:30 pm. The best I can determine, we arrived at 2:30 am our time, 9:30 am Greek time. We tried to sleep on the plane, but that wasn't nearly as successful as we had hoped. There some issues picking up the car we had rented, but we finally arrived at our hotel safe and sound. The first order of the day was to take showers and naps; now we're up at what would be our dinner time, but I understand that dinner is usually much later in Greece. We're still adapting. We are in the heart of Athens. The hotel we're staying is called Hotel Art --- and it is filled with art of all types, not only on the walls but even some of the furniture. Inside the hotel feels cozy and secure; outside is a bit more mixed. Add to the adventure that signs are not only in a foreign language but in a foreign alphabet, and it will be interesting to see how we navigate. We'll start our serious sight-seeing tomorrow, so I will be sure to post more then. επιφ!
