As we came closer to Athens, it became hilly and undeveloped. The forest looks overgrown. The area was probably most heavily logged in the early 1800’s, which would make the second growth a hundred years old. We don’t know anything about the native ecosystem here yet.
We arrived in Athens early evening. First impressions: old architecture, narrow streets, brick streets in downtown, people walking around, college students moving out, college housing slums.
We ate at the Pita Pit, ok food, loud music. Went to sleep at the Motel 8, a little unsure about being in a strange place. We’re here, what do we do next? My Dad says the noisy insects are cicadas. This is their 17 year peak or something like that.
