Yesterday we made the hike from our hotel to the Acropolis and admired the Pantheon. Ah how history repeats. Christians destroyed much of the statuary before turning the Pantheon into a place of Christian worship and today ISIL destroys sites in Syria and Iraq.
The Acropolis stands high above Athens offering a view of the city to the sea beyond. A nice breeze accompanied us on a moderate day. Temperatures are predicted to be in the 100s here in the next days.
Athens is a city that eat outdoors with endless restaurants on the street. Billed as a "food and wine tour" this experience will certainly fatten me up if I keep eating as I have. Think "Greek wedding" type of food. Last night, after climbing endless steps, we ate on a roof top with a beautiful view of Athens in one direction and the Acropolis the other.
I'd hoped to share some pictures but after waiting endlessly for this computer to upload them I gave so they will come later. Today we leave Athens for Crete.
