Acropolys

We took a morning train to Milan and flew to Athenes, Greece. On the way to the ancient city we passed the changing of the guards. The uniforms have been the same for centuries and are very decorative. Spent the morning exploring at the Acropolys and many of the temples that lie in ruins below it. It is so amazing that the Greeks built these huge temples on these cliffs with the wind wiping all around. But when you are up there you feel as though you are in a different world! After exploring the ruins we went back through the markets and had lunch at a cafe- you can't beat a Greek Salad with feta cheese! There are so many cats in this country, they just lay around you while you are eating hoping that you drop something. So of course, Eileigh and I dropped some bread crumbs! Only having 2 days in this city made it hard to want to leave, especially when there are 200 bus lines and we couldn't figure it out! We missed our bus to Delphi, but not discouraged. We just headed to Volos which is a beautiful port town and a lovely lady in the bakery taught us how to say thank you in greek: apheristou( a fer e sto)! And it is here where we ate tonnes of baklava!! i found out that if you eat local honey then your allergies won't bother you!
