Greece
Arriving in Greece we quickly realized the meaning "It's all Greek to me" since Greek looks nothing like English--completely different symbols!!! Lots of signs were written in Greek as well as English, but not always....To arrive to the hostel we took a bus to metro and then walked...(sounds pretty easy but when stops for the bus are written in Greek it is a bit harder! But despite the odds against us we made it!!!
Checked in, dropped out packs and then headed to out on a walking tour of Athens. The rest of the afternoon and evening we spent walking around and touring Athens with some new found friends from the walking tour! The Acropolis was SPECTACULAR! Athens is amazing to see with so many ruins in such close proximity! Greek mythology comes to life when you get to see what you have read about. 
The following day we joined some others from our hostel and took a day trip to Delphi. This entailed a 3 hour bus ride there and a 3 hour bus ride back...unfortunately our camera died once we got there so there are no photos of that day...The following day we woke early to get to the airport to head off to Madrid, Spain to meet up with Rod and Shelby, friends from home who are studying abroad in Spain.
