Cyprus to Greece

Today the group and I flew into Athens. After our arrival to the hotel we took a quick tour of the downtown area of Athens.

At the cafe we had lunch

We were tired so we grabbed a quick bite at a cafe downtown, did a minor amount of shopping, including a chocolate stop, and then went back to the hotel to take a nap.

Carolyn and I woke up from our naps and met up with fellow GLS members (Caleb, Nolan, Jeremy, & Austin).

We then went on the search for dinner. We asked several people for suggestions and went that way to find a restaurant. We kept getting lost so would then ask someone new for their suggestion. Eventually some man led us to a good authentic Greek place to eat. There was live music and dancing for all to enjoy.

At one point a man came in and took our picture and tried to charge us 12€. We told our server and he handled the situation.

Also people started to dance and pulled Carolyn up to dance. I took a video of the dancing, but then she begged someone to join her so I went up to dance. She took the opportunity to then go sit down. That's the last time I try to be nice!

At the end of our meal a man walked around handing out roses to all the ladies in the restaurant to celebrate national women's day. It was so sweet of him!

This was a very good day start to our adventure.
