On Wednesday morning, I got up and went to the airport. I was headed to Athens, while my mom and Earl were headed back home. I had no idea how much traveling was ahead of me. It definitely was such an amazing trip, yet quite tiring.
Anyways, me, Julie, Amy, Will, Toni and Kristin arrived in Athens in the afternoon and after an inexplicably long bus ride and a short walk (suitcases in tow) we found our hostel. Our hostel was in view of the Acropolis and it only took a 5 minute walk to get there, which was absolutely great. The first night we went to hang out on the rocks (called Areopagus) near the Acropolis.
The following morning we took a tour through our hostel, which took us all around the city. We went:
back by the rocks we hung out on the previous night
Greek parliament & tomb of the Unknown Soldier
through a park
And the Olympic Stadium
After our tour we hiked up Lycabettus Hill, which was quite the hike and unfortunately my camera died, but I still got a photo from friends.
