Greetings from Greece

I arrived in Athens last night after a full day of traveling. A 5.15 am train ride from Yaroslavl to Moscow, then two subway rides on the crowded Moscow Metro, a 50 minutes ride on the crowded local bus 851, three hours waiting, a four hour flight to Athens, another subway ride and a hostel search---I mean a search for the hostel :). It was all good and the plane only had 31 passengers. I am not sure what the tempature is today but I went from my coat, to a jacket to only a t-shirt. It must be about 55 or 60 F--A long way from the -30F of a week ago.
