I left at 9:40 from Boston on time with Liz, Hillary, and Paola. We met two other kids from Union on the flight who were going on the central Europe term abroad. Got to Zurich in 6 hours and 25 minutes. The food was good and they had free wine!! I didn't sleep much at all, I think I was a little excited, just a little. I watched a bunch of CSI:NY and Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian, there was really nothing else. The Zurich airport is super since and you had to go through security twice before we got to the gait. When we were getting on the flight to Athens we met a guy who is the tour manager for Municipal Waste who is a metal band doing a European tour and they are preforming here in Athens tomorrow night! We might check it out. All our luggage arrived safely as well. We had to take an hour bus ride from the airport and walked about 20 mins to get to orur apartment, and yes it is a sweet apartment. Its small but way better than I was expecting for a hostel in Athens. We are a block away from the Acropolis as well so some great photo ops there!! We can't figure out how to turn on the lights here... there are 7 engineers in the room you would think we would be able to figure it out!! Well me, Liz, Paola, Hillary and Angela are off to get dinner and hopefully meet up with Robin and Jodi. We are going to tour the city tomorrow and have a flight to Santorini at 5:35am (early Thursday morning). We are going to leave for the airport at midnight tomorrow night and sleep there so we are there and don't have to worry about getting to the airport in the wee hours of the morning. Ill write again soon, got to get food we are starved! Love to all!!
