Parthenon, the Acropolis
Greetings all, today was a full day of sight-seeing in and around Athens, starting with the Acropolis and continuing on to the Hellenic Agora, the Athens Museum, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch,the Panolympic Stadium (home of the first Modern Olympics), the President’s Mansion (with traditional guards), and the small streets of the Plaka, the old quarter of Athens. Near the end of the day we headed out to the Temple of Poseidon by the sea. Too tired to write more, I guess I’ll leave it to a few pictures.
