1st Full Day in Athens

My first day in Athens has been amazing.  I have never experienced so much history in just a matter of hours.  I have always loved learning about Ancient Greece and it was great to be able to see many of the places in person.  The food is also fantastic and most of the people here are extremely friendly, even though they can spot that we are American before we even start to talk to them (I guess Oakley sunglasses are a dead giveaway).  From the start it has been a great day.  My team and I are going back in to town to watch the World Cup games with our team leader because his team (Mexico) is playing.  I will add as many pictures as I can before I have to be in the hotel lobby.  Don't worry, there will be plenty to follow as the days go on!
