Well after a long flight to Athens we are here and safe! I mean we are here in Athens and I still had some internet credit left I guess, I am using it to share my photos with you. If you feel like there are none of me, their arnt, I took of Jennilee and she took of me! She will post them when she gets to Israel.
The Flight was long but I think going at night kept things broken up and less boring. We watched movies on our personal tv screens and they served dinner and then we tried with much fail to sleep, but we mostly dozed. those pictures can be found here: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2012005&l=5c2c6&id=170100936
I will put in explanations of the photos when I have more internet power and I am not so tired. And sun burnt. And watching Jennilee sleep. Right now we are stolen away in a quiet corner of the airport, we figure we have some time before we take the red eye. We are going to go through securtiy at 10, so that we can just sleep when we get through...
oh so we got here and then we went over to the hotel, guess what no room, just so bogus discount which left us still paying 180 euros, so we went for the nice bathrooms instead, jennilee took pictures of those, they had hand towels! it was nice to wash up... then we took the bus into the city and started our journey: those photos are here...

so the day was awesome we did alot of running everywhere trying to see it all in one day. the only problem was we only had this dinky map with nothing on it, so went solo, we shopped had these awesome yogurt things at a cafe, took pictures, hiked up the side of a mountain, and then ate grapes from a street vendor for dinner. oh this morning i had greek coffee, which i am assuming is what i have to drink now, its sweet and thick, its strange but its not so bad when its hot. but everyone is carrying around good looking coffee but i dont think i can find it and i am sure i couldnt order it. for sure.
so jennilee is passed out over her suitcase, i know she is bummed that she wont be able to shower until we get there, but when we come home i am going to have to show her how to pack a carry on, and sunscreen! well i am going to hunt down some coffee...they took visa here so i didnt really have to spend that much euro...
thank you for praying for my safety, i love you, claire

Sorry about the hotel room, girls. When the airline office was open I called them and complained. They said we should have made a rewervation. That was not what they had said the day I called before. They did make a reservation for you but you didn't get my email to Jennilee. Sorry Claire- you'll have to give me your email address, too.
But it sounds wonderful how you ran around and saw everything you could. What did you think of Greece? Is it as polluted as the travel guide I read said? (did Jennilee finally take off her sweater?)
Well, I hope the rest of your experience goes well.
Love,
Mom Porch
