Athens

Athens May 26th 2013 The Acropolis (top of the polis (city)) has several temples including the Parthenon, which is the best known. Law says no building can be taller than the Acropolis, so no skyscrapers to speak of. We spent time on the Acropolis (met a BYU english professor who recognized my BYU T-shirt), Ancient Angora (the old marketplace), Mars Hill ( think apostle Paul), National Gardens, Hardrian's Arch, Temple of Zeus (HUGE), Panathion Stadium (1st modern Olympic games), climbed to a small church that is the highest in town (on the highest hill), and watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Worthwhile day
