Greece was awesome and also very greasy. The traditional fast food is called a gyro (pronounced euro, and somewhat like a doenner) and it is super delicious and cheap. Consequently I had it quite a few times. Not to worry though I also had some healthier foods including swordfish and Kalamari (squid) and they were also delish. We spent two days in Athens and two days on the island of Aegina. Since the tourist season ended about two weeks ago we literally had the beach to ourselves and practically the entire town. Being a student has some definite benefits - everything we went to was free - awesome! In Athens we saw one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, the acropolis. We also saw the Angora and lots of other ruins. and one of the rocks that we saw was where Paul preached. After all this we climbed to a theater on the tallest hill in Athens. The city is white and goes on forever. Then of course we went and got some gyros. Yum Yum!
Nikki, Willow, Sydney, Jen, and me (all the girls on our trip) This is at the top of the highest hill in Athens. The city is HUGE!
Me with the throngs of tourists and the Parthenon.
They are rebuilding part of the acropolis. I think the newer marble looks better.
