Doing as the Greeks do....
Oh my gosh! Greece is so much more than we could have imagined. We are
loving it! The first day we got to Athens (which has a terrible reputation
for being a big dirty city) we got terribly lost and a very nice man went
out of his way to ride with us on the metro to redirect us and get us where
we wanted to go. He rode the metro with us then had us get out at the correct
stop: he rode up the elevator with us and directed us to go up stairs to the area
were trying to find... then.... he got back onto the metro to go where he was
going before he stopped to help us. .. (this was an elderly man who did not speak
english.... )
Today we loaded our first YouTube video with Greek sights & Greek music! Hope you have speakers!
Athens is really big but we didn't find the people rude or the city dirty.
Really, it was amazing how clean everything was. not a bunch of trash on
the floors of places. metro is spotless with marble floors that shine.
restaurants are clean and everyone
very concerned about how we are..... streets have very little litter.
sidewalks clean. amazing to us.
And the people are so nice. They think
nothing of stopping and helping you. We have not been short changed or
over charged once. Everything was as shown on the menu. We were surprised
to find that there is a charge for silverware but apparently that's how
they sneak in the tip. (people don't tip here) we always leave a
little bit....
