Athens and the Ruins

Temple of Olympian Zeus
Parthenon Temple at Acropolis

Panathinaikon Stadium
Hi Everyone!
As you can see we have finally figured out how to put pictures on the page, bad news though-it takes forever so only a few pictures per entry. Today we went sightseeing all day long, the acropolis, Odeum of Herodes Atticus, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, the Panathinaikon Stadium, and on and on. We started our day at 0800 and by 1500 we took a siesta in the National Gardens. It was intresting seeing everything but the hoards of tourists were always in the way. Tom has other words to describe them. Tomorrow we are off to either Paros or Santorini Island. We are having a great time. Heather and Tom.

Your pictures are awesome. I have always wanted to go to the Parthenon. Did anything surprise you about the ruins? Were they huge?

Brad says, "hello" and sends his love.
