Athens

Since as far back as Dave could remember he had always wanted to visit Athens. The place of his father's birth and, much more recently, home of the ancient Greeks, arguably the birth place of Philosopy and Mathematics. It had called to Dave constantly.

Now, finally, after almost 24 years of waiting, 5 hours of flight and another few hours waiting in Prague, Dave finally picked up his luggage at around 1am, Athens airport and stepped out into Athens.

Finally.

2 minutes later he stepped back into the airport to go catch another flight to Crete, where he would have a conference on Modeling and Simulating Chaos.

Still, it was nice while it lasted.
