The Eagle has landed

Okay, day one. Started at 3am in Leeds, thru to driving through a raging downpour to Manchester and getting soaked even before getting on the plane. Anyway, 5 hours later and it's blazing hot, in the high 20's.... man, what a difference to Leeds. Got settled into hotel, gr8 view from 6th floor. Walked into the center if Athens, not an easy thing when millions of tiny side roads and NO SIGN POSTS! The city has a tired, run-down air,reminds me of Egypt. Saw my first cat around the Flea Market area near the acropolis, picking scraps from outside a restaurant. A few morefollowed. All looked healthy, but it there are still some tourists about so guess they are still getting some food. A few un-neutered males aabout as well. Let's see what the first day of trapping brings tomorrow.
