Hey Everyone! Today I started the cookie baking finally. Yesterday I thought I was going to be productive but I ended up watching 3 movies and laying on the couch until David got home and then we went to the grocery store together. Yesterday it rained so it would not have been a pleasant walk to the store. I have the gingerbread and sugar cookies mixed and in the refrigerator and am getting ready to roll those out now.

We got a call yesterday that our car has finally arrived at the Embassy. David went to look at it today and said it looks fine except that it is filthy and has a dead battery. The maintenance people at the Embassy are going to try to charge the battery today otherwise we are going to have to buy a new one. David said the car is so dirty that it looks like it is brown instead of black. I am so excited that I will finally be able to drive somewhere on my own without having to make David take me.

Tonight we are planning on trying out a new Thai restaurant with a person David works with. Everyone says the food is amazing so I am really looking forward to it. I haven't had Asian food since we have been here and David and I used to get it all the time back at home.

Well I hope everyone is having a great week!

Love from Athens....
