It's all Greek to me!!!

Oh my gosh we are finally here!!! After 12 hours of air time, 4 hours layover in Frankfurt and a speedy pass through customs in Greece we are finally on Greek soil! There was no problem getting through customs once in the country and in fact they didn't even check out bags! We came to our hotel rested for maybe an hour before venturing out! The hotel is a quaint and comfy place right in what seems to be the middle of the shopping and dining district. We will be here for 4 nights.



Once we ventured out we had an experience similar to the one I had in Paris in the Latin Quarter. The barkers (waiters) at the restaurants try to get you to come in and enjoy their meals. They hand you their card, offer you free drinks and free dessert until you finally give in to one of them and sit down to have a meal. We had a great tasting dinner, however I ordered chicken and I'm pretty sure what I got was pork! Still good. The picture below was after dinner and after 36 hrs of being up!! So please forgive the "dazed" look as Taylor calls it! She of course is cute as always!




After dinner we took a stroll along the cobble stone streets to see what we could see. We decided to head back to the hotel because I'm sleepy!! We seem to have the knack for getting lost. Of course there are plenty of people on the streets willing to help or wanting you to come in and enjoy more food and drinks! We couldn't possibly eat or drink another thing! So we did get a tad lost but came across this Cathedral in the heart of some of the surrounding streets.


After all was said and done it was a pretty good day! The weather is beautiful, the flights were comfortable and our room is just right for crashing! So hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks for reading! By the way we are 10 hours ahead of you. Also, Taylor will be blogging on her blog at http://taylorstrax.blogspot.com be sure to catch her blog too!
