Riding solo!

The next day Kristen and I set off bright and early! First we caught me, and a picture of the running man!

This guy ain't got nothing on me!

Then, we were off and running to the Acropolis. This semester one of my spanish classes was Greek and Roman art so I had learned all about the Acropolis. It was so nice to learn about something and then get to see it in real life. I felt like I was younger and got to go on a field trip. I really miss field trips.

Here are some pics of the beauty that is the Acropolis...

 What I imagined typical Greece would be like...

After we had taken a sufficient amount of pictures at the top of Athen's we went down to take a serious picture at the changing of the guard...

We then took the long tram, and bus ride back to Kristen's apartment where we dropped off our luggage and prepared to go to the beach...First, we had to get a gyro for lunch. It was yummy and only 2 euros! Then we were off again to Yabanaki beach. It was some random beach on the way to the Temple of Poseidon. We just got off at what looked like a good place. It was pretty windy so we ended up writing postcards to Breezy and Kyle!

Afterwards we headed back to her apartment and stayed up all night until I had to leave for the airport at around 4:30a.m. It really wasn't our brightest move ever, but it was fun:) I had such a wonderful time in Greece and I feel so lucky that this is one of the countries I was able to go to. I have to say a big thank you to the Horton family for letting me crash their trip. I could never have gone to Greece without them!!!
