Today was a long one! Started out May 1st at 5 am, and I am just now sitting down, at 1:30 pm on May 2nd.
Our flights were wonderful, a small delay but nothing too bad. We first flew Minneapolis to Montreal, then Montreal to Athens. The 9 hour flight wasn't bad because it went through the night. Flights over seas that are upwards of 7 hours are always more convenient when they cross over your natural sleep schedule.
For me, it kinda skips over the jet lag, and you wake up in the new country, ready for a new day.
We arrived in Athens at 1 pm Athens time and met with our guide Jason! He will be showing us around while we’re here. Taking us from island to island, introducing us to other professors, and giving us all his tips and tricks.
We explored our hotels neighborhood on the first night and found some dinner. It was a pretty relaxed evening amidst our exauhst and the light showers in Athens this evening. I had a lovely pork and feta cheese dish with peppers and fries- SO GOOD! Our hotel is beautiful and spacious, and I can't wait for tomorrows adventures.
