Here I am… sitting in the Knoxville Airport… headed to Greece… and the trip still doesn’t seem real. It has been official for months now, yet it still hasn’t fully hit me that hours from now I will be in a different country. I think I’m most excited for the visit to the Acropolis in Athens; I’ve visited the Parthenon in Nashville, but to be able to see the original structure still standing after thousands of years has got to be something totally different. I don’t really have many concerns, except for getting over there and then not liking the food since I’m extremely picky or accidentally being ignorant to Greek culture and customs.
