My Big Fat Greek WeekendGuess where I was? :D
Everything is in Greek!...literaly...
Athens is just wonderful wonderful wonderful!!
It seems that every city that we go to is better than the next.
The weather was great. Nice and sunny! And we didn't miss any flight. :P
The Greeks (especially the Simiakis) are awesome awesome awesome!!!
We stayed at Ioannis' parents house. Unfortunately Ioannis was still in Berlin and could not personally host us but it was ay- oh-kay for us. The Simiakis (Costas & Giota) took care of us so well. They were such gracious hosts.
They accepted us with open arms and heart. Treat us like their own kids, fed us huge amount of Greek food and ask for nothing in return. If you have watched the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you would know what I mean. Of course this time without the wedding and relatives.
I am truly blessed to have met them. Words can't describe how nice they were to us.
Imagine I can see tears well up in Costas eyes when we presented him a little gift for hosting us. That is just so sweet. I can't thank them enought.
Ioannis, if you're reading this, big hugs to you and your family for making our trip unforgettable!
I will definitely wanna visit Athens again. (..in summer!..)
