Mediterranean 1: Athens, Greece!

 After all the traveling including 10 hours on one flight, we made it to 
Athens, Greece!   Photo above is from the plane--first view of Greece. 
We drove from the airport 45 minutes on a highway built in 2004.  Previous to that it took 2 hours.  It was built for the Olympics. 
There are 11 million people in Greece and 5 million plus in Athens.
Next photos are of the Acropolis at night from the top floor of our hotel.
We were at the Titania Hotel.
 It was a very nice hotel and within easy walking distance of some historic buildings.  It was interesting seeing Greek writing everywhere.

 The National University
 Athens Academy:
 It was fun going for an evening stroll in Athens!
