Flagstaff-Chicago-Franfurt-Athens

I did not want to stay the rest of the winter in Flagstaff, so I decided to flee to Greece!

Flagstaff-Phoenix-Chicago-Frankfurt-Athens

Jan 28: I took the shuttle van to Phoenix, for a 1 night stay in a hotel near the airport. From cold weather in Flagstaff to warm weather in Phoenix.
Jan 29: Hotel shuttle to Phoenix airport. Flying on United Airlines.
             After a long flight landed in O'Hare, Chicago's airport. 
             Snow on the ground, blue skies, but cold.
             Changed planes, United from Chicago to Frankfurt in Germany. 
Jan 30: Landed at Frankfurt airport
             After a long wait, change of planes: from Frankfurt to Athens. 
             Landed at Athens airport. I had booked a shuttle with the same company that owns and runs the                   apartment that I booked through  AirBnB. 
             It took an hour driving from the airport to the apartment. 
             It took me quite a while to open the lockbox that held the apartment keys,
             in the meantime it was getting dark. 
             After the long, long time of sitting (in planes), walked from the apartment 
             by way of Omonia Square to Monastiraki, and back. About 4km.
Jan 31: Got my senior public transport from the booth at Omonia: 15 euro for 1 month 
            (half of the price 5 years ago) 
Walked about 5km today. National Archeological Museum
Monastiraki, in the background on top of he hill, the Acropolis
Walked another 5km
Feb 01: Ran 9km
