Αθήνα

Well, the secret is not a secret any more. We've told everyone we know that I interviewed for a position in Athens. Sadly, after all the build up and anticipation over the whole thing it looks like we won't be moving after all. Our experience there was great. The weather is amazing and reminded us a lot of Arizona (cactus and all). Athens is of course on the Mediterranean coast which I guess means it is like Arizona with a beach! The food was amazing and the ancient sites just sit in the center of the city over looking the "new" Athens. Athens is jam packed with people. The roads are insane and this is after they have cut city center traffic by half with even/odd license plate driving days. It still has it's Greek charm. We had a drink at a restaurant one evening and inside they had live music and everyone eating there was joining in with the Greek dancing. We could still end up there but if nothing else we'll be going back for holiday.
