Day One: The Arrival


Hey everyone! So this morning we arrived in Athens at about 8:30 am local time. After 18 hours of traveling, we were finally here! A group of six of us wound up together on the NY to Athens flight, which was really nice so we didn't get lost. Taso, our professor, picked us up and took us back to the hotel. I immediately fell in love with Athens as soon as I felt the sun on my skin and looked up at the Acropolis. We even have a great view of it from the balcony of our hotel room. We are staying at a little place called the Art Gallery, and the elevators are so tiny it's hilarious. I could barely fit my suitcases in there with just myself. Anyways, here are some pictures from today:

Parthenon/acropolis at night
and by day, i can't wait to actually get up there, it was closing because of the holiday by the time we ventured over
orange trees that line the street because they are the only kind that will survive the smog
view from the hotel room: acropolis :)
greek city living at its finest!

Well I hope all is well back home! Love you all, miss you already :)
