Greetings from Greece, all!

Can I just tell you that I love it here, and I wish I could stay in Athens for
the whole month. It's amazing here, and I'm loving every minute. Even when I'm
absolutely exhausted from all this walking around. I'll make a list of
wonderful things.

(1) Souvlaki. The Greek version of kabobs. The chicken is absolutely fabulous,
and the seasoning is out of this world.

(2) Olives. It's Greece, there are olives. They are SO tasty.

(3) Tzatziki. Yogurt-based garlic-y goodness with cucumbers and onions chopped
up. I'm sure it depends on the chef for the exact ingredients, but the stuff I
had at lunch today was blissful.

(4) The Acropolis. That's right, I love more than just the Greek food. It's so
incredible to finally be able to see the Parthenon and the Erechthion up
close! I can't even begin to tell you how cool it was.

(5) Euros. Despite the sagginess of the dollar, I think I love the Euro.

(6) The Plaka. This is the touristy tschotschke district. There are
restaurants everywhere, and you eat at tables out on the street for the most
part. That's how beautiful the weather is.


That is quite enough. I'll have to update later, if I find another chance.
