Well evidently there were two earthquakes here but we didn't feel them at the Embassy. I get Google Alerts on my State email on Greece and one popped up around 1:00 from the AP saying that Greece just had a strong earthquake and it was felt in Athens. Once again the earthquake was in the southern part of Greece in the Peloponnese and no one I talked to felt either one so we are safe and sound.

Today was our last day of work until Tuesday we are taking tomorrow off and Monday is a holiday. We are heading to Switzerland in the morning at 9:30 and will get back Monday afternoon. We promise to post pictures once we get back. I can't wait to get out of Athens I have been having way to many "Greek Days" recently.

Once we get back I can start to plan our next adventures, Joanna and Alex's visit in March/April and a trip for us over Easter (Greek Easter) when we have a four day weekend. I am pushing for Italy but David wants to hit an island. We will see who wins :)!!!!

Not much else to report hope you are all well! Have a great weekend!

Love from Athens....
