Layers of Life...
What I found most intriguing in Athens, Greece was the dichotomy of
the ancient and modern living harmoniously. The ancient structures
stand among modern apartments and hustle and bustle. Seeing through
the history...to give us the present-literally and figuratively.
Although many people travel to these parts, I felt the need to share
for those who have not seen some of the oldest, most beautiful and
meaningful pieces of architecture in the history of well, the world!

The underground discoveries were particularly fascinating... the
baths beneath the Acropolis Museum!

I was stunned when I caught a glimpse of the Acropolis from afar.
When I could move, I hiked my way up the steps to the theaters and of
course to the Parthenon and Temple of Athena. Marvelous. Majestic.
Breathtaking. Modern buildings are crumbling, and even warfare
couldn't fully take down the Acropolis. Brilliant!
