Ching Hong in Athens

Greece is very nice ...unfortunately i have no time to do some tour ... i flew from Athens to Thessoloniki (greek name for Thessalonia where Paul the Apostle wrote a book to them) ... nice town but i had no time to tour the place - just went to meeting and then flew back in the evening. I understand Corinth (where Corinthians book and where Paul spent two years here) is nearby too.

I had an hour or so before dinner, and I went for a nice run today ... about 1 hour, but i was surprised by the cold and came back with frozen fingers. Beginning of the run was cold all round my body but after half an hour it is fine as the body warms up, but the hands got cold. My body insulated by two layers so it is okay. I ran to the original Olympic stadium where the first Game was held in 1896 .... wow !! It is amazing .. but unfortunately they do not allow us to run inside the stadium .. it will be so cool to do so. Also ran around a small park near the parliament and some historical building.

tomorrow, i hope to run around the old town of Acropolis (below the temple Pantheon) .... all within my hotel area.
