So apparently there was a car bomb in Athens today, but we are all fine and didn't even know about it until I talked to Mom today. Athens is huge and we realized that when we did our touristy stuff today. Me and the girls went to Acropolis and saw the Parthenon and all the ancient ruins in the area including the Olympic Stadium, Temple of Zeus, and a sports field. It was super hot and we we gross sweaty and very jet lagged but pushed through because we knew this was our only chance to do this. Plus we were basically homeless seeing as we checked out of the hostel at 10am. I am currently sitting the Athens airport waiting for our flight to Santorini. We have been here since 1am (it is 2am now) and our flight leaves at 5:35am. Its amazing how many people are here tho sleeping waiting for early morning flights. We arrive in Santorini at about 6:30 and we might be homeless for the day there too because we might now be able to check in until a reasonable hour when people are awake. We will find a place with some strong greek coffee and hit the beaches or a museum or something. We are kind of taking one step at a time and winging it. Well going to try and hit the hay and get some sleep in the 2 hours we have until we can check in. We'll see how well that goes on a cold marble airport floor.....Goodnight, good morning, whatever time/day it is...still so confused.
