Yes my friends we made the plane trip over the Atlantic and landed as planned in Athens.
It is a beautiful sight with calming white and blue homes.
I have never seen such a calming place in my life. It is so soothing to watch the main color scheme of blue and white.
For the competition I do not want to be too calm so let's get started and spice things up.
I need some power movement and whirling positions to win this race.
Lucky me, I got El Ninjo who is not falling for the soothing emotions. He is a dog of reality and knows that our team has only one goal in mind.
He is also enjoying a satisfying lunch of white beans and onions. This meal is a typical Greek appetizer speciality. We all love the variety of the appetizers (in Greek: Mezethes) and the flexibility of the Greek cuisine.
El Ninjo stuffes himself full of the delicious bean salad and we love the Greek feta, Dolmades, Tzatziki, and Moussaka.
His tummy is rumbling and his gassy bottom is starting to shoot out the transformed beans. I can hear and smell the power of the beans and I encourage him with our code word: "Go get em doc!"
As the competition starts, El Ninjo is pushing us powered by his green bean steams and we are flying through the beautiful hellenic city that is inspired by Greco-Roman and Neoclassical architecture.
We are totally ahead of everybody else.
The other boys are still struggling to keep up with us.
We are flying through the streets of Athens and over the tops of the most beautiful historical architecture. As we are crushing through the city and over the most gorgeous blue and white colored private and public buildings, we can even overview the sparkling sea of the Mediterranean Sea.
I can hear the sound of the skateboard whizzle as we are touching the white paint of the sandy walls.
Skateboarding over these sandy tops is a totally new feeling because the grains of the sands provide us with an obstacle that we did not anticipate.
It is a breathtaking and empowering experience to to fly through the hellenic sky and we pass the port of Piraeus and the Mount Lycabettus.
The Athens area encompasses a variety of terrains. There are many hills and mountains rising around the hellenic city. Four mountain ranges extend into city boundaries and thousands of miles of trails criss-cross Athens and its neighboring areas.
In the end of the Mediterranean skateboarding race we are the winning team with our magical trick: the power of beans and flexibility!
We still have 14 destinations ahead of us, but we are positive to keep up the bean steam power and to keep up our game.
I am very inspired by Athens because it is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, but it also hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice, in 1896 and 2004.
Let's first take a break to recover and replenish our energies for tomorrow which is going to be another Greek destination, the Akropolis.
