Actually that's not entirely true;) He did bring a nice piece of jewelry!
.
I have visited Athens twice -- once in 1962 when it was still possible to walk on the Parthenon -- and also in 1977. I don't have those pictures available so I'm using my husband's to finally say something about a wonderful city!
- Pros:A lot of history for philosophy & theater buffs.
- Cons:It's polluted and crowded
- In a nutshell:Not to be missed!

Hi, Sally! ><><>< Those ancient sites are simply marvelous!
but these are nice photos! u shouldnt complain! :)
I, too, loved the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and its shop. As much as I love mythology, I was fascinated with your selected tips. Your husband's photographs are wonderful...you make a nice team!
I also found the archeological museum fascinating, although usually I am not into visiting the museums. Nice page!
Wow, great page, Sally! Brought back many happy memories! Thanks a lot for sharing! How about returning there for a third time for next year's European VT meeting?
Fascinating pages of Greece!!
