Since everyone’s been asking what Athens is like and bugging me to post pictures, I finally got off my rear end and uploaded a few. You can check out the Athens photo gallery.

I labeled them in iPhoto right after I uploaded them, which means the captions didn’t make it online. Doh! The Athens photos are (roughly in the order they appear): Syntagma (Constitution) Square, Parliament Building (with the funny looking guards), walking through the National Gardens, a stadium thing that looks like it was used for track running during the olympics, the ruins of the temple of Zeus (the pillars standing out in a field), Hadrian’s Gate (which divided the old and new city), the theater of dionysos (at the base of the akropolis), then walking up to the akropolis where there’s the Parthenon, temple of athena, and some other stuff, then down to the Aeropagus hill for a view of the Ancient Agora, then walking through the Ancient Agora, then the temple of hephiastos in the ancient agora, the athens flea market, then a snack break for ice cream.
