Hello Athens, So Nice to Meet You

Okay, I have to pay for internet at this hotel so I am going to try to make this short and sweet.  Today we woke up and had to get ready for the flight to Athens. The plane ride for Rhodes to Athens is a grueling 40 minutes. I slept the whole way. After we landed we checked into the hotel, which you all will be reassured in knowing that the hotel is guarded by a security officer at all times. We left the hotel quickly because we were starving and we ate at the first restaurant that we saw (well really the second because the first we saw looked kind of sketchy).  I had pizza and it was delicious.  Then we meet the tour guide at the hotel and we rode the metro to Mars Hill and the Agora. Mars Hill is where the judicial system in Athens started and is at the base of the acropolis. And the best way that I can describe the Agora is that it is ancient shopping mall. Oh something fun! They are filming some kind of movie at our hotel. If you have questions about these places just comment on this post or email me.  Got to save money, so that's all I'm gonna write.
