Acropolis. . .Again
Once a year, on the night of the full moon in August, the Acropolis is opened to the public for free. The stairs are lit (but not the buildings) so you can see your way up and down. The people turn out by the thousands. I know this because we went Thursday night, along with what seemed like the rest of Athens! I wasn’t too excited to climb the hill and all the stairs again, but went along anyway. Once again, it was worth it. The night views were very pretty. And the full moon peeking out behind the Parthenon was definitely a sight to be remembered. Thanks kids for wanting to go and for being patient enough with me as I slowly made my way to the top.

You've just taken my dream vacation :). We went to Florida in the middle of July, so I can sympathize with your humidity issues! What a wonderful experience to have with your family. I'm so jealous! See you soon (in the not-so-humid Utah) :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had great vacation!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see some of your family's cute little faces around the neighborhood again.
I'm so proud of your personally. Way to go!
