5/15
Laura arrived late last night, but after a few extra hours of sleep we were off to the Acropolis! For just 12 euros we got a chance to see many of the historic ruins of the city: Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Library. We started at the ancient agora, taking our time seeing the pantheon, theater, and various other ruins. A bit crowded, it was well worth our time and money. The views from the top of the acropolis were breathtaking as it is the center of the city.
We continued the day by going out to lunch at one of the nearby restraunts. I know we could all get used to the greek cuisine, especially all of this cheese. Since the sites closed at 2:30, we spent the rest of the afternoon going to the famous flea market, going back to the parliament building, and walking much of the rest of the city. Laura and Holly enjoyed some tasty deserts at one of desert shops in the city. By the end of the day we were pretty exhausted and spent our evening drinking wine, eating olives (well just me) and feasting on pita and cheese. The evening was so nice, I slept under the stars of our balcony!
