aithne: (greece)
Athens is big, noisy, dirty, and overtly hostile. The Acropolis was cool, though, and last night I got semi-seriously flirted with by Nikolo, our waiter. So it's not all bad.

I mostly haven't been sleeping, but it's starting to get better. I have huge blisters on both feet, I accidentally deleted some of the pictures from Philadelphia, and overall things are probably going about as well as can be expected. I no longer have the panicky desire to return home Right Fucking Now, though I'm still pretty freaked out most of the time. My trees are an ocean and a continent and a half away from me, and that isjust way too far.

So we went to Delfi the day before yesterday, which was neat except for the Greek drivers, all of whom are INSANE. Yesterday we hiked around the Acropolis and the Plaka, and then hiked back to the Plaka for dinner.

I'm finally learning "thank you" in Greek. This is a major accomplishment.

My Twitter thing isn't working from this phone, alas. No idea if I'll check in again before we get back, but we'll see.
