We're here!

Yup! I'm officially excited now! We arrived on Thursday and two nights in Athens at Tom and Sandra's house (Yanni's godparents). On Friday the three of us took the subway downtown to see the Acropolis up close while Gus went to deal with our car situation. The first one they gave us was way to small to carry us and our luggage so he had to try and find another, larger one. We spent a beautiful day walking to the top of the acropolis to see the Parthenon up close and then visited the new museum which was breathtaking! It was hot but with a refreshing breeze, so it was more than bearable. On Saturday we made the six hour drive up north to Kipourio (Gus' village) and made it thankfully without having to fill up on gas. The trucks that deliver gas to the gas stations have been on strike for a few days. We passed only two during the six hour drive that were pumping gas and both of them had huge lineups, with cars at the end of the lines being pushed by their drivers! We'll be here now until the 12th.
