All dressed and ready to make the trek to the elevator. For some reason the hotel does not like wheelchairs in the elevator. Of course we r on the 6th floor so we can smoke. For a smoking room though it doesnt smell bad. Narain washed my hair in the sink so I finally got the grit & blood out . I have my favorite Hawaiian dress on and my stylish Athenian sandals. Thanks to Bev for the dress and also for arranging a town car ride home, direct from Jfk to Hampden Rd. I am extremely grateful for that! So ciao & adio & goodbye. It's been a great trip of a lifetime but it will b good to b home

Ok no new pix
Stuck in a chair or in bed but its ok. Watching bbc news german sports channel (minicar racing or snooker) german mtv greek soap operas dubai idol singing competition french (nothing.pah). CNN and Italian documentaries. Right now the big news is following the Olympic torch from Athens to Moscow and the lady who was shot driving in DC. So I am making lemonade and am delighted there are so many different options. Also narain bought some pink chewing gum thinking it was cinnamon. It is rose and delicious
Oh ew just found dried blood in my hair. Forgot to say my right hand and chin were scraped up in the crash. No chance to use the big tub or shower here. Grr
Athens sofitel
Nice 5 star at Athens airport. The insurance co has reserved 2 business class tix for us yay! This because I need assistance but not a nurse. So Narain gets star treatment too. We arrive in JFK tomorrow afternoon on a direct flight. Im bummed I am stuck in the room and cant snoop around to hang by the pool and get a mud wrap at the spa or have a cocktail on the rooftop bar. Wah
