It's official! I'm a true jet-setter... or at least a budget traveler because I just experienced the joy of showering with one hand in a youth hostel shower. It has one of those hand-held Greek shower heads, so it's difficult to multi-task. Needless to say, I managed to get water and soap suds everywhere. :)
It's been quite a long day of traveling. I had a seven hour layover in Brussels where I slept on a rock-hard airport bench to pass the time. I must have looked super comfortable because this old couple in their upper sixties decided to do the same on the bench right beside me. A little awkward, but I was too tired to really care... and the next time I woke up, they were gone.
My classmate, Kris, graciously picked me up from the airport and delivered me safely to my hostel (so no need to worry about me, Mom and Dad!) where I met one of the other students who is on the same program at the American School. We went out to dinner and it was AMAZING! Tzatziki never tasted so good! I'm starting to remember my way around and now I have friends, so navigating Athens won't be too difficult.
Tomorrow I head to the school and meet the other students, and then the hard work begins. ;)
Kalinihta (Good night!)
