Arrival in Greece!

Got on to the JFK-ATH flight, in business class, which was fantastic. Dinner was delicious and a LOT of food; I ate way too much! For once I was smart and skipped watching a movie, opting to go to sleep right after dinner. I managed to get about 4-5 hours of sleep - made huge difference!

I was a little concerned about how Charlotte and I would find each other at the airport, but it was no problem, I spotted her checking the flight monitor. It's really great to see her again! Needless to say we have been yakking nonstop since I arrived. :-)

Charlotte's place in Glyfada is gorgeous and suits her very well. We hung out for a bit, then took a walk along the waterfront to downtown Glyfada. We spotted an ice cream store and decided to have a treat - I got baklava and mastic ice cream, yum! We relaxed back at home for a couple hours afterwards, then went to a souvlaki place for dinner, which was quite good. I managed to hang on until about 11 pm, when I felt like my eyes were shutting despite my best efforts!

Today, I'm planning to head in to Athens and hit my favorite stand for a lamb pita, do some shopping, and possibly go to the Folk Arts museum.
