Athens and the Acropolis










Part of an ancient theater, pretty creepy without heads...
About to order some Greek cuisine, well Dawson is, im ordering pasta.
Statue of a Greek Goddess 
The parthenon

We have arrived! Currently we are in Athens staying at a hostel. Luckily we do have our own room with a bathroom, most of the rooms here are dorms with a toilet down the hall. We are somewhere downtown on a street called Sotabriandov, we think. It is a relatively easy place to get around, with buses and metros everywhere. And even though most of the signs are in the Greek alphabet we seem to get along well. This city is HUGE, people from all around speaking everys language... for some reason people keep speaking spanish to Dawson. The city is built around the Acropolis, which you can see from miles away. Today we took a little venture there and took some pics...

Another view of the Parthenon, GORGEOUS 

An ancient theater


We walked around up there for hours upon hours, such a nice day!!


Look at the city beyond... this was really amazing

Tomorrow we are traveling to the island of Andros. Its part of the Cyclades Islands. First we are taking a bus to Rafina then riding a ferry over. We may be stuck there for a few days depending on the weather, the ferries do not run when it's windy or rainy, and the weather does not look good for the weekend, oh well. Please sign up on our blog and leave some comments!!
We really look forward to keeping in touch!!
