Parthenon and Acropolis
May 31, 2007
We headed off to the Acropolis first which was an absolute madhouse. I've never experienced such crowds - not even on days when Disneyalnd is at max capacity! LOL. But I didn't care, I was at the Parthenon and just in awe. The surrounding views were incredible and I was speechless. My dream finally came true...after years of studying Greek and Roman architecture in school - I was finally looking at it, not the textbook pictures! :-)
The only thing that bummed me out a little is all the scaffolding on the Parthenon but I understand it is undergoing major reconstructive efforts so that is not likely to change anytime soon.
