Bob and I arrived back in Athens yesterday about 3pm Athens time and were looking forward to the warmer temperatures. We woke up this morning to snow!

I know you are all probably sick of looking at snow; however, I asked around here and was told it almost never snows in Athens, and if it does, it isn't more than once during the Winter. I guess this was a large amount (maybe an inch - lol - so nothing compared to what we experience in the Midwest).
After breakfast we decided to hike up Mt L to get a view of the snow on the city.

| The top of Mt. L was like a skating rink. It was also pretty much empty, which I have never witnessed. Even the guy who sits up there with a cooler selling "pop, lemonade, ice cold water, beer" was not there today. |

| We got a request for more photos of ourselves in the blog, so here I am at the top of Mt. L (I hope you enjoy this Katie). |

We left again at 11:30am to the library and most of the snow was melted. After lunch (2:30 ish) we ventured out to a book store and the phone store, and there was nothing left but water.
Also, I know it's late, but here's our holiday photo:
