Its All Greek To Me

I arrived in Greece a few days ago after 48 hours of continuous traveling through Dehli, Milan and finally Thessaloniki. My friend Jen's family has joined us for this part of the trip, and so we have rented a nine passenger van to tour the country. We started calling ourselves Team Fiat!
It has been quite comical as all the town names, and street names are in the Greek alphabet - go figure. So we have just been inventing new names that use the American word that looks the closest to the Greek symbols.
One day in Meteora we were at the top of a rock hill, and the van won't start. We all had to get out and push the van up the hill, and jump in once it got going - Little Miss Sunshine style!
Greece is amazing, if not a little cold. We are only traveling in the mainland, and have seen some of the greatest mountains. Snow on oneside and an oceanview on the other - quite a change for this landlocked Colorado girl!
