Athens, is a charming friendly city. We are staying at the Royal
Olympic hotel which is very lovely and centrally located. We walked
everywhere.
We covered a lot of territory today. The new Acropolis Museum which
only opened a few weeks again is a beautiful museum, no headphones
yet. It has a large section on the Parthenon. The Greeks are still
angry with Lord Elgin for stealing a great deal of the antiquities
from it.
We visited the Acropolis and the Parthenon. There is a great deal of
renovating going on there as they attempt to restore it. We also
visited Hadrian's gate and the Temple of Zeus. The Plaka was our
choice for tasting the gyros that Athens had to offer. We also sampled
coffee where ever we went.
