Athens, Greece









Me and Emma, my Toronto roommate



What to say about Athens?  We came here twice and all the tourist attractions are a bit of a hike from the port.  The first time in port, we, along with the rest of the ship, stuffed into a couple taxis and headed to the Acropolis.  My, what a dusty, crowded, hoooottt, day we were in for!  But what a sight!

The second Athens port day, a handful of us headed to a destination overlooking the entire city of Athens.  What an expanse!  To be honest, I don't really remember where it was, but I remember the view!  We could see the olympic stadium, the Acropolis, and the Temple of Zeus.  Another sweltering day, but...that's the Mediterranean for you in July and August!

Hey Diego and Emma!  See you at the Acropolis!



Kaila: Worried about getting tan!
Emma: Worried about tan lines!

Here it is!  The Parthenon!
 We got pretty snap happy when we arrived at the Parthenon.  These are just a tiny fraction of all the photos we took.  What can we say?  Photos are our job--literally!

And then....




...we sailed off into the sunset.
