So, despite my best efforts, I caved to the idea of blogging my semester in Greece. Though I’m still not fond of the idea, it’s probably the best way to document my trip both for myself and for others (i.e. parents). So, here goes my first post!
Our flight landed in Athens around 10 am. Assuming we were going to get a few hours to nap and relax was a mistake. We immediately started site-seeing. Traveling in a pack of 32 was a bit of a challenge, especially when we started being followed by dogs. Seriously, they would wait outside stores for us to come out. Both adorable and annoying (one kept biting people who walked by! Oops).
Over the next two days, we saw several museums, the Agora, the Acropolis (and Parthenon, of course) and more. Not gonna lie, not a huge fan of Athens as it turns out. However, seeing the sites was incredible and the views from the Acropolis were beautiful. Next stop: the rest of Greece!
