My feet are SWOLLEN!!!!! I'm so embarrassed!!!!!! My feet look like logs and my toes are sausages!!!! Hopefully they will be back to normal when I board the ship tomorrow!!!!! AH!!!! We spent five hours chillin in the German airport and my first European purchase was a Starbucks frap :D It was 40 degrees outside so our landing was a bit bumpy (causing the steward to spill coffee on my brand new PINK sweats.....where's Grandma's Tide-To-Go when you need it!?!?!) We then landed in Athens, Greece just a few hours ago and rode the bus an hour to our hotel. Unfortunately, the area we are staying is close to the port so its pretty dirty and not at all like all the pictures I've seen of my beloved Greece. We won't be going out tonight since we have a long day ahead of us (and the euro exchange is about 1.60 to the American dollar....EEK!!!!) We passed a few columns on our way into the city which was exciting, but I guess I will just have to wait for another time to explore my favorite place.
I also had a lady come to me, speaking what I think was Greek, thinking I could translate what she was telling my cast member Neeko. Apparently, I LOOK GREEK!!!!!!!!! I smiled, shook my head, and shrugged and she used gestures to let us know she needed help getting her money into a machine because she couldn't reach. SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! I made a friend! My new goal will be to get a pen pal, but maybe one that I can understand!
Well, I should hop in the shower and get some sleep. Who knows when I will get a good nights rest between my work hours, adjusting to my new environment, and the inevitable motion sickness that will hit me. I don't know when I will have internet next, but at least you all know I am safe! Hope all is well on the other side of the world!
