Athens here we come!

---

We got to go on our first plane ride of the trip today, yipeee! We arrived at about six pm and headed to Hotel Aristoteles. It was 32 degrees when we arrived so we were impressed with the air- conditioned room. By the time we headed out to dinner it was 9:30pm and we thought we would have to settle for a take-away kebab but no siree this is when it all happens in Greece! We walked for about ten minutes and no food places were grabbing our attention and we were thinking our hotel wasn't near anything and then we hit it............Metropolis Street. As far as the eye could see there were outdoor tables not one to spare, heaving with people, music and atmosphere! Matt and I went up and down a few times with our eyes out like hawks. We instructed each other to find a table, pounce on it and then call the other person over! We shared an amazing Greek salad, Mousakka and a beef kebab. The table clothes were pieces of plastic with rubber bands around the table so when you are finsihed they just pick the whole lot up and put a new cover on for the next people! Our walk home was a stroll due to our full tummies. We saw some markets, a small concert stage with music and some more amazing restaurants with candle lit alfresco dining. I love it here (maybe I was Greek in a past life)
