Touchdown: Athens

I am officially in Athens and running on about twelve hours of sleep over the past three nights combined. My body has no idea where it is, what time it is or what's going on. And Greece is completely different than I expected. There's really awesome graffiti art everywhere, there are children begging for money who come up to you when you're eating, and the whole city looks, sounds and smells more like Accra than Paris or London. Pedestrian right of way does not exist, and there are guys hawking copy watches and other random trinkets everywhere. The Acropolis just sits on top of a hill, with lights on all around it, glowing in its beautiful state of disrepair. Tomorrow, I'll probably be better able to process this all, but right now, it just feels a bit surreal.
