Greece

Greece was fun, I really enjoyed my time there. The Island I must say was my favorite. I loved it and have decided it would be a dream come true to live on a little Island with few people. An Island that has a mountain and then I can watch the sun go down over the ocean every night. It would be year round summer and would rain 2-3 times a week but always after 6 p.m. The ruins were amazing and I am grateful I have been fortunate enough to see both Rome and Athens nowChillin at the airport for 5 hoursI found Cinnamon gum!If you are ever in Athens this is the bus to take for sightseeing, cheap and good and you have a 24 hour pass on all public transportation


My yummy Greek salad, for some reason I always crave a salad when I travel
The mysterious cord coming out of the bathroom all, never figured out what it was for, decoration maybe!

The changing of the guards in front of the unknown soldier monument and the Parlement

Ancient Agora, which is below the Acropolis, not the Parthenon, another temple
I so can't spell the names of these, this is a part of the acropolis very nice site.

Here is the Parthenon, wow what an amazing building and view

Ruins around the acropolis and the theatre Olympus Zeus
Temple of Apollo on Aegina Island


I went looking for the other temple that was on the map of the Island, I never found it

Wow, it was a beautiful view around the coastline of the Island and it was a very big Island

I couldn't find the temple or my way back and there was no chance of making it all the way around the island. After 4 hours with no water or sunblock and nothing but abandonded buildings I was ready to drop.

Another hour later I found water and learned I had another hour walk to make it back to the harbour!



Greek Gods
I decided to have a little contest to find a Greek God!



Contestant #1 in a very rare shop on the streets of Athens


Contestant #2 had me laughing, only a man would create something like this!

The winner! My Greek God in a speedo waxing down his mini yacht, hunka, hunka!
