nothing can stop me now...

Athens again. Yesterday I arrived in Athens to meet Lauren and continue on our trip through Greece, Turkey and Egypt. I took the ferry for 5 hours and met a really nice couple who gave me great travel tips and also gave me a ride to the metro station which was super nice. I got onto the metro to head to my hotel and when i got off the metro i went for my wallet and it was stolen. Within the first 1 hour upon my arrival in Athens everyone to my name was gone. I spent the next 3 hours canceling credit cards, calling the embassy but of course it was Sunday, but i managed to get everything worked out. I now have a new passport and thank god for BofA over-nighting me a new credit card.

I dodged the swine flu, survived a stolen wallet with credit cards, money, passport and drivers license, threw my brains up...I'm ready for anything.

Today has been nice we went all over Athens and explored. I'm staying my first night in a real hostel and its kinda cool. Everyone i have met here has been really nice, even a woman today in the metro station helped me take my bag down the stairs out of no where. Some times it's those little things that make even the worst day better.

tata for now :)
