We are stuck in Athens. Our flight, supposed to leave tomorrow, has been canceled, along with every other flight out of Athens December 10. There are riots, as I'm sure everyone knows by now, but everyone is safe no worries. There are lots of riots and protests around the city because a 15 year old kid was shot and killed Saturday night by police.
We are all hanging out in our Vasilios Konstantinou apartment right now. It's in the neighborhood of Pangrati, which is well south of the hot spots, and has a good police presence, and has been quite quiet this whole time.
If you want to keep up with the news, the bbc has some good coverage of what's going on, so does cnn international.
The good folks at FPU are working on getting us on a plane as soon as possible.
Oh and Ron and Jill are going to cook up some delicious eggplant parm tonight so we are making the most of what we are given here.
All is well. We are safe & witnessing history.
