This is going to be easy... I've just successfully made it 20% of the way around without a hitch...
Well, that's over-simplifying, but it's making me feel better.
After leaving Boston last night and stopping at T5 for a couple hours to check in on the Yanks' big win last night, I finally made it to Athens around 330pm this afternoon.
I swiftly checked in and then headed up to the Acropolis for a "It has begun" celebratory cigar. (Sorry for not shaving, you guys!)
I'm tired as hell, but it has begun!
Thank god I don't have to leave this time zone +/- 1hr for 10 weeks!
It was a good couple hours roaming the cradle of civilization and after returning home (read: hostel dorm room) this evening, I now have a a 3 week volunteer gig confirmed for Tanzania!
Details to follow, but it starts in two weeks. So, needless to say I've got some rearranging/booking to do!
Not before I get some souvlaki in my belly though!
