We made it!!

We made it to Greece around 6pm local time yesterday! We had a great flight from Chicago to Amsterdam. We had a 4 hour layover in Amsterdam which is an awesome airport!! We truly enjoyed hanging out at the airport and were able to meet up with the UK delegation for our flight to Athens! We flew to Athens from Amsterdam which was exactly 3 hours. When we landed in Athens, there was Special Olympics World Games everywhere! When we got to baggage claim, there was a delegation there from the GOC waiting for us! Christos was our delegate who helped us get to our bus to take us to the hotel. Our bus took us to many hotels as it dropped off other delegations, so we were able to see a lot of Athens. What a busy city! A lot of cars and motorcycles! Once we arrived at the hotel, we were taken downstairs for dinner. We had traditional Mousakka, lemon chicken and a wonderful chocolate mousse dessert. We then received our credentials and all of our swag for the 2 weeks we are here! We didn't need to pack any clothes! We have an official outfit to wear for opening ceremonies too! We have met so many people for other delegations! It has been an awesome start for our trip. We are so lucky to be a part of this incredible world wide movement!! Enjoy the pictures!!!
