Alright,
I have definitely been slacking on the travel blog. I know. I have no excuse, other than I've just been lazy.
However, since I did recently get back from an overseas trip, I intend to rectify my laziness. Of course I haven't gotten all my pictures uploaded (I keep forgetting to do that), but I can start off with a few basic pictures to get anyone who's reading this jealous.
This trip started with a few days in Athens Greece. Finally I'm off to some place I haven't been before. By the time I got into the city and to the hotel, it was fairly late. All I really had time to do was get some food, take a shower, then crash for the night. Because it was late when I got in, I decided to take a cab to my hotel, something I've not ever done. Luckily my driver was friendly, told me all about Athens, and even showed me a video slide show of sites worth seeing during my stay. I was quite impressed, even through my jet lag. Luckily there was a local spot not far from the hotel where I could get some yummy and cheap gyros. I love gyros. And over the course of a few days I ate here multiple times.
Funny thing about Athens is stray cats roam everywhere. They go in and out of restaurants, stores, etc. They are shooed out of restaurants, however it's only a matter of time before they find their way back in from another entrance. It was quite cute. And I love the fact that the whole city really jumps in and takes care of all the stray cats. Most of them looked well fed, well groomed, and just well loved. The brave ones would even come rub against you in greeting. Totally adorable. I wish more society took care of stray animals so well. So far, day one of my trip to Athens is off to a good start.
