Quick update from Greece - this email is from the Siena group mailing list; I'll repost it here. Later, if I have time, I'll put up some of my own thoughts.

Greetings from Greece! We all arrived in Athens safely…a little jet-lagged and weary, but ready for adventure!

It was a little drizzly yesterday (Thursday), but most of us took a mid-day nap. The rain cleared up in time for us to take an evening metro ride to Plaka (old town area), and explore a bit. We had a half-day city tour around Athens this morning (again, a little drizzly, but the forecast for the rest of this week looks good!)...and climbed up to the Acropolis to view the Parthenon, etc. The students are all doing well, exploring the city a little bit and getting used to the food, using Euros, etc. Everyone is happy and healthy...always a good thing!

Dr. Sham has stated a blog of our trip. We expect to add some photos on Sunday. If you'd like to follow our adventures, click on this link:
