Day 0: Athens, Greece

Athens = So much Feta Cheese!

Spanikopita = σπανακόπιτα

Greece and the U.S. share many similarities:

1. There are military soldiers in way-too-hot uniforms (how do they survive?!) guarding a tomb of an unknown soldier.


2. White guys are immortalized in statues around the city center.


3. IKEA is here!


So my mom and I feel very at home.

Things that are different:

A. Everything is in kilometers, so on the treadmill I feel as though I am running very fast.
B. "History" is measured in thousands of years, not hundreds of years.
C. Banks close at 3pm!
D. The airport offers free samples of alcohol.
