Athens

More pictures from the past year, starting with our trip to Athens last February.
 Brian and I standing on Mars Hill--where the Apostle Paul gave a famous sermon--looking up at the Acropolis. It was a long, circuitous route up to the top of the Acropolis, but clearly worth it. We adopted a stray dog along the way and named her Athena, but we had to part ways when we went up to see the Parthenon. I think she got tired of us because we didn't give her any food.
 This is actually in a reconstructed Roman marketplace at the foot of the Acroplis.
 And here we are on our adventure to the Mediterranean Sea on 3/4 tank of rented gas--we couldn't get a rental car with a full tank because of the strikes.
And the view from our hotel...
