I’m not getting much reading done this week because I’m writing this Book Report from beautiful Athens, Greece! We just arrived yesterday afternoon, and there’s already so much to see. The food is wonderful, the people are warm and friendly, and they’ve been incredibly patient with clueless first-time visitors like me.
Greece is such an interesting blend of ancient and modern, as well as European and Middle Eastern influences. I can’t wait to do more exploring this week. It’s a little hard to wrap your mind around just how old parts of the city are, and it’s fascinating to see so many famous historical sites and ruins nestled right in the middle of a bustling city.
Also—there are cats. Lots of them. Well-fed, very friendly stray cats seem to be everywhere, which makes this cat lady squeal with delight as I stop to visit with every single one!
Next week I’ll be back on track as your friendly neighborhood book lady with a fresh new book review. In the meantime, here are some pictures from our first 24 hours in Athens.
