I started 2007 in an apartment in Athens, working at the embassy here. I will begin 2008 in an apartment in Athens, working at the embassy here.
But...
During the year, I left Athens, went back to the U.S. for a month to be with my sons, other family, and friends...then went to Kabul, Afghanistan, then got offered another position back in Greece and returned in November. I am in a different apartment, but back to work amongst friends here. So, I have come full circle.
Oh, and I had surgery this year, so I no longer have the back pain that I started the year with.
