Camping on the roof?

Athens, Greece

Wow, I was a little worried there for a bit.

We arrived in the Athens airport this morning with no place to stay. Our only connection for a place was with Damon's buddy that is working for NBC. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to bring any guests into the hotel.

So there we sat -- in the airport calling hotel after hostel, trying to find a place to rest our heads.

I wasn't worried about finding a place...until I talked with Nick from Athens Hostel No. 5. He didn't have any beds, but we could rent a spot on the roof for 25 euro. That got me really pumped.

But finally we found a place for the next two nights! It has a great view of the city, especially the Acropolis. Damon is frantically searching online for Olympic tickets and we're in the process of deciding on what we will see. Maybe women's volleyball tonight? Wish we could go to the USA vs. Greece basketball game, but that is of course a tough one to get a ticket for.

Pictures will be posted soon -- I promise. Sorry, but I've had a tough time finding a place to let me use a USB port.
