Throughout our classes adventures in Greece, we have always been asked "where are you from" by locals looking at the herd of white kids walking into a cafe. This is could have not have been even more apparent then yesterday then our adventure to the Greek Fútbol game at the new Olympic stadium. Like the Titans of old, we were a large group of people that blatantly stuck out like sore thumbs. (Not to mention, the had a certain 6'2" red head sticking out of the crowd.) We were given the awkward stare at first, but by within the first g 10 minutes of the game we were excepted right into the crowd. It didn't matter who we were are where we were from, all that matter was that we were cheering for the home team Panathinakos with the rest of the fans. Once the fans saw that we were as passionate about the game as they were, we were seen as family and all the awkwardness of being a foreigner went away.
