2011 started with a bang, literally. We arrived in Athens on New Year's Eve and watched the fireworks over the Greek House of Parliament from below the Acropolis. We then spent the next five days exploring the city and ancient sites. It was wonderful to be in a milder climate we even got out for a couple morning runs which was especially as it's too icy to run in my site in Romania.
We managed to pack a lot in and I would definitely love to go back to Greece in the summer to see some of the islands. Here are a few highlights from our time in Athens.
Elizabeth tests the water in the Aegean Sea.
Hadrian's Library.
Hadrian's Gate
Finally, Acropolis!
Theater of Herodus Atticus
Parthenon
Erechtheion
Socrates' prison
View of the Acropolis from the Hill of the Nymphs
