Athens Greece

YAY... time for a real update! This past weekend I went to Athens Greece... WOW what a place! The city was SOOo beautiful! I have some friends who live down there, so I decided to check out the area. It was such a great trip- I went to all the sites in Athens (akropolis, partheneon, monastiriki, plaka, 1986 Olympic Stadium, University area with Socrates and Plato, etc etc)...and I even had enough time to check out Ancient Corinth and Mycenae. I was blown away by all the ancient structures there... next time I need to hit up the greek islands! :) who wants to come with????

Here are some pictures of my time in Greece. Due to privacy issues, most of the pics are either me or just landscapes. Enjoy!
