After a two hour bus ride, we stopped in Metsovo, a ski town to eat lunch. It was noticeably cooler there.
We also saw a wedding processional! Love this!!!
The remainder of the afternoon was via the engineering marvel of the highway--dozens of tunnels through mountains and sparsely populated villages.
We arrived in Thessaloniki around 5 p.m. and we were pretty much wiped out. Long week, long drive.
Greg and I shared a bite in the hotel restaurant and slept for 11 hours!!!
The next day, we took it easy by going to the rooftop pool from about 10-1:30.
The association provided a bus for us to the Concert Hall at 3, but then we had to wait about 3 1/2 hours until the opening ceremonies. It was worth it because they designed the program to represent the stages of life, punctuated by Greek folk music.
The only detour into commercial music was the Thessaloniki symphony playing a very brief Zorba the Greek.
