Athens

We took a ten day trip to Greece at the end of the season before heading back to the states.


We spent our first day at the beach near Sounion.


Sounion.


Temple of Poseidon.


Our friends, Julie and Chris were in Athens this season. They were awesome hosts!


We also met up with our friends Sammy and Judith in Athens. Here we are, waiting to get inside the Acropolis.


Surrounded by ruins at the Acropolis.


Theatre of Herod Atticus. Built by the Romans in 161 AD.


I think they had a Yanni concert here once.


You get a great panorama of Athens when you get to the top of the Acropolis. The city is huge!


Walking up to the Parthenon.


The Parthenon was built in the 5th century B.C. It guess it was about time to do some renovations.


Us with a bunch of other tourists.


Me and Sammy, laughing at Alex.

View of the Acropolis from the metro stop. The Greek metro system was very impressive.

Waiting to buy tickets for the metro.
