Hey hope everyone had a great weekend! Saturday we were running all over the place or at least I was. I rode in with David to the Embassy in the morning because he needed to take care of a few things. I dropped him off and headed to the grocery store with a stop at Starbucks. I am not a big Starbucks person but it tasted so amazing so much like home. In the afternoon I went to the Hilton to get a haircut. They have a salon where everyone speaks English and I really needed a haircut I hadn't had one since before we left Virginia. Well I am fairly certain that I received the worst haircut of my life. I have bangs now which I have not had since middle school. Greeks in general could care less what you say they are only interested in what they want. I never told this girl I wanted bangs yet here I am with bangs. I feel like I am back in the 90s. You will all see when you are here in Athens as far as their hair and fashion goes they are stuck in the 80s and 90s. You would think that since they are so close to Italy and France that they would be on the cutting edge but that is not the case. So anyway this woman did not listen to me one bit and did what she wanted which is so so Greek...lesson learned.

Sunday David got up and helped me clean the house which was great! Now that I am working he is helping out more which I appreciate. We went for a late lunch at Dan and Stacy's for some Indian food. After that we went to church followed by a little cocktail party at a friends house. It is so strange how much more social we are here in Athens compared to back home.

Today was another good day at work. Trying to get organized for our trip to Switzerland this weekend.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Love from Athens....
