We're back!! What a great 3 weeks of sun, sailing, and sightseeing. We had a blast! We started our trip on Sept. 28, 2008 and flew to Paris then Athens. We'll have to go back to Paris since we only saw the inside of the airport.We traveled with 4 other couples...who joined us throughout the week in Athens before taking off on a 60 foot sailboat for 2 weeks to the islands.
Of course our first stop in Gree
ce was the Acropolis of Athens, home of the famous Parthenon. It is even more magnificent in person. Below is a picture of us in front of the Erechtheum, though the statues are replicas and found in the museum, it is still incredible. And you can't forget the Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus...most famous in modern days for Yani Live at the Acropolis. Look familiar? We toured several ruins including ancient angoras and plakas. Since Acropolis means high city - the "Sacred Rock", and there are Acropolis' all over Greece, we were introduced to st
air climbing--the first of several hundred--no, make that thousands before our trip came to an end. Not mention the subways in Athens. We skipped the escala
tors and ran the stairs.
Maybe we worked off a little bit of Baklava :)
