Here we are in legendary Athens, Greece.
This was one of my favourite places for taking pictures. There was always something to see and do. This was however, getting closer to the end of our trip so Michelle and I were a bit more picky on what we decided to do.
Much of out time in Athens consisted of us walking around and exploring ourselves. We also hung out a lot with people at our hostel. Throughout our trip there had been the obvious language barriers. Greece, however was a totally different situation. Michelle and I did not know any Greek, like we did French and Spanish. It was almost impossible to communicate with the locals. This also limited us in what we could do.
The best thing we did do while in Athens was go see the Acropolis. There is so much history there and so much to see. We spent the whole day there adventuring through the historic buildings and monuments. I mut have took a million pictures because everything was so captivating and unique. I had never seen anything like this before in my life. I had never seen anything like this before. It was like something out of a movie of a history textbook. Words cannot explain its beauty. This is a must see. From the top of the Acropolis you get the best view of Athens city. I had never seen anything like this before either. So many houses and people. It was like looking down on an ant farm. I loved the view.
That night we had found another Athens treasure. It was a little Gyro shop by our hostel. This became the food we lived off of when in Athens. I had never tasted a Gyro like this before. They actually put fries in it. That’s right, fries. It was heavenly. I will never eat a Canadian Gyro again.
We only spent about four days in Athens but each day was incredible. I will never ever forget the Acropolis and hope to one day return.
Now we are leaving Athens and headed to Corfu, Greece. Stayed tuned for this one. It is a great story.
