What a day!

The plane landed this morning at our destination; little sleep was had on the all-night flight! I have been pinching myself all day. The hotel is absolutely spectacular--right across the street from the Parliament Building and Syntagma Square. The ceiling in the bedroom must be at least 15 feet high; there is gorgeous artwork and marble everywhere. We went to the rooftop restaurant--I was astonished at the beautiful view of the city. Then, I turned--and there was the Parthenon--right there--right from my hotel. I was in such awe--it took my breath away! I had the best salad ever--filled with olives and feta cheese! I took a long walk around the Syntagma area. We had a wonderful dinner at an authentic restaurant in the Plaka district. I had lamb that was so tender, it fell off the bone. The baklava was outrageous--not as sweet as what I have had in America. Tomorrow is when touring the sites begins. I am ready for a good night's sleep! Have you figured out where I am?
