Safe in Athens

We're all in Athens. The trip from Rome, while early (we left at 6AM), was easy. We have a nice hotel here and after a few minutes at the hotel to drop off our bags, we had lunch (most people had Greek salads) and set out. Dr. Hartnett took the group to the Pnyx for an orientation to the city and now we're going to the National Archaeological Museum. Dinner is at 8 for an authentic ancient Greek meal with no utensils, arranged by Mrs. Tamvakologos.

The students are excited about tomorrow's trip to the Acropolis, in part because we'll have a bus (no more walking).

Your trip sounds amazing. Looking
forward to the pix and hearing of your experiences.

Our weather has turned warm. We had a high of 55 today...it is rumored to be in the 70's on Wednesday.

Looking forward to your return.
