Today we are in Athens. We visited the city and the Acropolis. What a hike. Getting to the top was a workout. Jeanne and John decided to stay toward the bottom - A good move on their part as the walk was high, long and very slippery. The Parthenon and the other structures on top of the Acropolis are amazing. Did you know that most of the damage to them was from warfare and not just time. The Greeks are restoring the temples as you can see from the pictures. It was also very very windy up top - we had to hold on to our hats. We are back on board ship now going to the pool after I upload a few photo's from today. Tomorrow is a day at sea then we go on to Dubrovnik then on to Venice so I am not sure when I will get a chance to add another detailed post. I will send a couple of pictures via the camera phone like I did this morning. See you all soon.
