Finally!!  I conquered the METRO...mostly. After what started as a tough day I at least accomplished one thing that's been hanging over my head.  I followed the map, found the Metro, asked a nice gentlemen who told me what direction to go and off I went.  I met two new boyfriends today; it was a good day!  Seriously, I've never felt comfortable taking underground transportation in a land where I don't know the language. Especially Greek.  I made it to my destination but after that, all bets were off.  I did enjoy the touristy area.  It was full of life on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  Honestly, I felt like I was in an Italian village.  It amazes me how different and yet how much the same these small countries are.  It really shouldn't be surprising.  After I walked around and got a cup of coffee (I refused to go into McDonalds, but did take a picture of it because there's something that's just wrong about McDonalds being in a country over 2,000 years old),  Today was the kind of day that would have been wonderful shared with friends, family or loved ones.

So, I got to my destination thanks to my new boyfriend's help, but once I got off the idea was for me to walk back to the previous Metro stop and get on there.  That went out the window the moment I saw how few signs there were.  I even whipped out Siri but couldn't get any kind of help following an underground train line.  Are you ready for it?  Here are the pics to prove I did what I said  :)

What a beautiful place to explore and experience the wonderful Greek culture.  At this point I pretty much gave up on finding the next Metro station and gave in to grabbing a taxi.  That's where I met boyfriend #2.  Salt and pepper full head of hair with light blue eyes that one could get lost in.  Too bad he was my taxi driver.  And no, I didn't ask him what time he got off.  Besides, I've been told that most of the married greek men do not wear their wedding rings.  Boyfriends are fun (I got that one from Dr. Teresa Vereb) but I've no interest in tying myself down at this point.  If there hadn't been someone behind me beeping as I was departing the taxi, I'd have asked him for a selfie like I did with the kind gentleman that helped me get on the correct Metro train.  All in all it was a fun few hours but whatever is going on with my sinuses has left me weak.  Good thing my doc gave me plenty of antibiotics should I find myself in need.  We'll see how I feel when I wake up in the morning.  

Hope you've enjoyed the photo's.  My new iPhone takes really good pictures!  Blessings, M
