Athens is a beautiful, historic city.  Today we visited the Acropolis which means Top of the City and is a true testament to the golden age of Greece.  Our walking tour included the Erechtheion Temple and the Parthenon.  The Parthenon was the temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.  Afterward we visited the Acropolis Museum and the Olympic Stadium where the flame ceremony originates every two years to kick off the Olympic games.  We visited Anafiotika, an area of simple stone houses nestled in bedrock.   We ate lunch in the city and people watched in the Plaka  and  soaked in the spendor of Athens and listened to street musicians playing Greek music.  Zorba the Greek comes to mind.  The changing of the guard delights the crowds every Sunday and we were lucky to see this weekly ceremony.  And, of course, the sailors were in town.  Dinner was in the historical quarter of Plaka at the Psara’s Taverne.   Tomorrow we board our cruise ship.  Blogging may be a little slower over the next few days because WiFi may be intermittent.  Another beautiful day with the Women’s Travel Network and Worldwide Quest.
