Days 1 and 2 - trip to Thessonoliki

Things were mostly smooth. Customs surprised me, we went through customs in Madrid even though we did not have our checked bags. Then we had to go through security to make the flight to Athens. NOt a very long wait.

The layover at Athens was a bit longer. Picked up our checked luggage. Found that the Richardson's and the Folkmeyer's luggage made it to Spain but not to Athens. It will follow us later.

We met our tour guide, Aliki, and Spyros our bus driver when we got to Thessonolili. They will be taking good care of us. On the bus on the way to the hotel we ran into a large group of soccer fans protesting the fact that their team was being changed into a different league. We had to wait for about 10 minutes while they moved across the street.

Hotel Capsis is very nice, the rooms are probably typical for Europe, a bit small by American standards.
