The next day we packed up and headed off to the airport to catch our flight to Athens. We got to the airport in good time and sat in the boarding area watching the planes take off and land. There was a cute little boy waiting with his mommy. He was about 3 and very gregarious. He was right up at the window and every time a plane would take off or land he would get so excited and he would wave his arms and turn around and tell us all about it. Of course, it was Greek to us, and we could only nod our heads and smile. He was very chatty and cute.He got interested in my Monopoly game, so I turned on the sound and showed him how to roll the dice and he liked to hear t
he car, toaster, dog bark and cannon sounds. He ran over and showed it to mommy, who was exclaiming to take it back to me, but I just smiled at her and conveyed it was ok. Eventually he brought it back because it stopped making noises. I put it away and next time he returned I just told him it was gone.
Eventually we boarded the planed and took off for Athens. The flight was good and the landing was smooth. George was there to pick us up and took us, flying over the streets of Athens outskirts, to our new home in Attiki. George invited us to join his family for Easter Sunday barbeque, so we are looking forward to that.
Our home is the top floor of the main house. We have two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. Also there is a nice deck that gets wonderful sun in the morning. George took Don off on a short orientation for the car and the area while Cheryl and I settled in for our stay. The first thing I did was a load of laundry.
After the guys got back the three of us went off to the grocery store. Cheryl and I shopped while Don went off to the Citibank for money and the gas station. Of course, here in Greece, we needed to take our bustas and I didn't have any, so we just loaded up the stuff in the shopping cart and stuck it in the trunk. We used our backpacks to haul the groceries up to our apartment when we got home.
