Our New Neighborhood in Athens

We are back in Athens after a vacation in Switzerland that was WUNDERBAR. On our way back to our apartment from the airport, our driver informed us that we had been moved to a "new" apartment. This was good news as we were glad to be away from the six lane highway that ran past our old place. Our new building is about 25 years old and is in a well established neighborhood in Athens called Maroussi. We like it and have been working on making it feel like home. There is still work to be done but here is a snapshot of our new digs...
