In Greece!!!

So after 42 hours of traveling, we finally reached Greece! We met mom in the airport, our flights got in at about the same time. She says we look way better than she thought haha. She expected us to be scraggly and emaciated I think.

We spent the night in Athens and had our first dinner on a rooftop with a view of the Acropolis. The next morning we flew out to Lesvos. We stayed in Plomari, a beautiful village on the sea for our first few days. It was amazing! We stayed in a really great house (thanks Pattie!) and ate amazing Greek food every night...fresh seafood! The ocean is the bluest and clearest I have ever seen!!! We went hiking in the olive groves which turned into a huge adventure! It was really beautiful!

Now we are in Mytilini and are going to be taking a ferry to Turkey! Which is awesome because we can add another country to our list! Turkey is only and hour and a half away across the Aegean sea!



Dinner on the harbor in mytilini




I found Tila's evil twin in Greece! If you look hard enough you can see it's creepy snaggle-tooth that sticks out...Scary!
