Made it to Athens...

Monday, July 6, 2009

But there's no internet at the hotel, and no SD card reader at this internet cafe! So no photos of ours for now!

Got to walk up the winding path to the Acropolis, which has lots of interesting things to see along the way. I think I'm the first person in at least 5 years to venture to the back of Pan's cave judging by the cobwebs that ended up in my hair and clothes.

(Acropolis, from wikipedia)

Once we got to the top we got to walk in the footsteps of Alcibiades, Socrates, Pericles... and Persian invaders.

There's alot of rebuilding going on but it wasn't as busy as we feared, so it was a pretty amazing afternoon. The ruins we see after this likely won't be as impressive but they will be just as interesting.

I'll upload photos when I get a chance.
