April 27 & 28
Greetings all,
Our friend, George, helped us find the public transportation and we went with him to the outskirts of Athens. First we enjoyed lunch at a very hole in the wall place that perhaps no tourists would ever find. The food was delicious! Then George put us on public transit to Glyfada which is on the ocean. We traveled back to city center, by way of a beach path and a tram. You will see a photo of Robert getting a foot massage. This is a beach along the way.
Today, April 28, we toured the Parthenon which is on the Acropolis, which means high hill. We can actually see the Parthenon from our bed in this VRBO apartment in the center of the city on the 6th floor. I am sending a photo of that too. Also, I went to the Acropolis Museum. From a tour book, “as the highest part of the city, the rock is an ideal place for refuge, religion and royalty. The Acropolis Rock has been used continuously or these purposes since Neolithic times.”
