Greece Advenure, 2weeks and 2days after arriving!

• Athens

March 03.01.2010! My first day in Athens. The bus dropped me at Karaiskaki SQ  and the journey began. Few minutes the ppl from AIESEC appeared and was feeling a bit relaxed and tired from the "awesome" trip 16hours. They showed me my flat and I was happy to see that everything I need is on place. Few minutes later I was exploring Athens and Greek Souvlaki + Dzadziki (Don't be shocked by the names the 1st one is typical Duner and the second is some kind of our tarator soup or for the advanced travelers - kind of Polish Mizeria ). You can see me on the picture with my first dzadziky and french fries, interesting combination. One of the 1st things that shocked me was the fact that there are so many places for fast food and there are no so many places to eat normal cooked food :(. The food is not very healthy but the rest is perfect :) There are so much places to visit in Athens that you will need several weeks to explore but so far i have been to Acropolis, Zeus Temple, Olympia (the Panatinaiko stadium - oldest one), place called Anafiotika, Plaka, National Garden, The Parlament, the main squares Monastiraki and Syndagma,  Lucabettus Hill. There are a lot more places to go but i'll update my blog with the places I have been and info for them from wikipedia!

• Weather 

It will not be a surprise that the weather here in Greece is good even in the winter. I'm lucky to have the hottest summer in my life and the hottest in Athens since 1920th. Several times it was around 22-23 degrees, but now it's getting colder and it's around 10-15  but having in mind that in Poland it was around -20 here is like paradise. End of 1st part

• Running 

 One of my passions is reality now - living near big park and running there! I'm trying to run every day and I have new gear (Nike Lunarglide+ and Nike+ sportband). What I found here is that a lot of people are running too and I happy to know that in my park is training the best running club in Greece :). These guys are really great and the good thing is that you can always run with somebody even if you don't know him. Just keep the same pace and smile :) The cool thing is that I have 3 types of surface for running (track, trail and road) and I can tell that on the track with the new Lunarglide+ you just fly over it. :). I'm just happy I got the perfect weather and place to do my running.
