We met with a group of Syr­i­an and Iran­ian refugee artists at the Vila Café in Athens.

We pre­pared to meet Damien and Col­in, two musi­cians and orga­niz­ers with the group Pangea FC of San Francisco.

We agreed to split up in the ear­ly after­noon to embark on two dif­fer­ent expeditions.

The pho­tog­ra­phy team went in the ear­ly morn­ing to search for Athens for the per­fect sto­ry in a pho­to. That left us at home to work out the post­ings for the last few days, and to antic­i­pate the arrival of Ziad and Hussein.

We rose in the ear­ly morn­ing to a fruit mar­ket in full swing at our front door.

Mehrdad had asked to meet us in Piraeus to dis­cuss meet­ing at his church on Sunday.

On Sun­day, Mehrdad went to Church, and he very kind­ly invit­ed us to visit.

We met Hus­sein at Vik­to­ria metro sta­tion and walked to catch a train to see Mehrdad at his home in Malakasa Refugee Camp.
