Athens - Start of our Adventure
Denise and I arrive a day early and we immediately stop at the Plaka before checking into our hotel for some delicious Greek food - Stuffed Tomatoes, Greek Salad with a big chunk of Feta Cheese, Cheese Pie and of course Greek Beer.
Day 1 in Greece - Jackie and Mitchell arrive in Athens from NYC - Yay! Head to the Hotel.

We headed to the Plaka for lunch - stuffed ourselves. The waiter kept bringing us more food (on the house). He brought gyro meat and yogurt with honey for desert (delicious). Also on the house - he brought us a drink called Raki which is an alcoholic unsweetened Anise drink and very potent. I really think its Rocket fuel - lol - but it was good enough that we ordered 2 more rounds to celebrate our trip.
