I'm in Athens!

Hey everyone! I just got to Athens a few hours ago. Our taxi driver was so nice, he showed us the President's palace and the guards that go along with it. They are very strict about their conduct code like Britain, they have to stand so still and when they do move they have to step a certain way... interesting. But this city is huge, the largest I've seen by far. It's beautiful though and so far everyone is so friendly and for the most part speak english. The hotel we are staying at, Athens Gate Hotel, is very nice. Best of all, I can look outside my window and see the Parthenon. Yes, I can actually see the cornerstone of modern civilization from my bed. Ah! So awesome. Becky, the girl I've been travelling with to Greece, is so tired so she's back at the hotel sleeping while me and our third roommate, Brooke, are here checking up on a few things in the Internet Cafe down the street. A lot of the signs are written in the greek alphabet which is really interesting, but below that it has it in our alphabet as well. Jake, you'll be jealous, there are crepe shops everywhere! Miss you already but I'm already having an amazing time!
