Friday, 3/13
Already, on day one we experienced Greek culture, religion, food, and architecture. After arriving at the Athens Airport on an overnight flight and some frustrating time waiting on the tarmac, we met our Squads guides Yana and who escorted us by a nice coach to the Hotel London in the beautiful Glyfada area of Athens. After a delicious traditional Greek lunch at the hotel and a little rest, about half of the group headed out. Our friendly tour guide Yama took us to a nearby park adjacent to a beach on the Aegean. The beach not only was an ocular masterpiece, but also gave us a chance to bond as brothers of MBA. We also visited the Greek Orthodox Church in the neighborhood. The Church’s circular structure and beautifully ornate interior conveyed to us the Greeks’ pride in their beautiful religion and culture. To end our tour, we stopped to get delicious Greek espresso at Cafe Vesti. At the end of the night, we finished off by getting a quick smattering of some Greek concepts, geography, history, and phrases and participating in a team review game directed by Stella and Yama, our two lovely tour guides. Most importantly, we learned to say efcharisto! Consistent with ancient times and a recent pattern with Nashville’s team, the Titans fell to the Olympians 10 to 5.
