Greece - May 2019
We started out the day by traveling on the
motor coach around the city of Athens. We first stopped at the Olympic Stadium
for a photo op in the Syntagma square.
It was open to the public to walk around inside this ancient landmark.
But to view it from outside the gates was impressive. Back on the bus to Make
our way to the majestic land that houses the famous Acropolis. As I hiked up
many flights of stone steps that lead me to the very top of these structures of
history. The Acropolis! Here is where I viewed the Parthenon. I find this is
one of the worlds greatest architectural builds. That was a part of the
Athenian Democracy. To see the Temple of Athena Nike that was home to the
statue of the goddess. It was said that her wings were clipped to prevent her
from leaving the city. To end this visit I had time to go through the Acropolis
Museum. Inside this museum was like stepping back in time as you were able to
read in-depth about the history, and artifacts that have been discovered
through the years. This helped paint a picture in your mind of the rich history
that Athens holds.- J.O.
