The first picture is of us infront of our apt. on Santorini.
We made it into Pireaus, the port of Athens at about 3:00 pm. We spent the 8 hour trip doing another chapter of the James Bible study and reading our book on Athens and I edited some more pics.
We had arranged to have a driver pick us up and take us to the studio we've rented and I'm very glad we did. This place is crazy! The traffic, the streets, it's all very confusing. We sure aren't in Santorini anymore! Crete & Santorini are very geared toward tourists and so far Athens is NOT. We can't even find anyone who sells maps of the city. I think the book that Phil Bossart sent us on Athens will be invaluable to us now. Thanks again Phil!
David and I got to our apt about 3:45 and met w/the rep from Athens Studios to get the keys. We also went ahead and arranged a ride to the airport for Thursday morning at 3:00 am....YUCK!
After that we fought w/the internet for awhile....still can't get my laptop hooked up to cable internet (found a wireless signal, low but still a signal). Then we headed out to find a phone to call home & get familiarized w/the area, try to find a place to eat, a store for some essentials to get us by, and a metro station for tomorrow, & a map.
After some confusion amid all the chaos that is this city we were able to find everything except a map, there are no maps anywhere! We got home and found some more info online and along w/the book we have a starting point for tomorrow.
I think we will be ready to head back to the sticks of Hanna City after a couple of days in this city. We both are really missing the kids. It's good to be able to talk to them but not seeing them everyday is just so weird. After this city, the chaos of 5 kids should be a cake walk...right????
