The Parthenon and Other Assorted Adventures

Went to the Akroolis where the Parthenon is. Since \i was a student 18 and under, they let me in free of charge. \it was atop another mountain, but it wasn't as high and it was a tourist attraction so it was considerably easier to get to. My right calf muscle is torn up, however from all that steep climbing. Also got to see the Temple of Hephaestos (i think), the Roman Gymnasium, and Theatre of Dionysus to name a few.

I was a little disappointed due to all the construction going on up top. Took away from the experience.

Now I'm on an overnight ferry to Crete. It's a very nice ship, even for the economy class. Ate some veal w\ potatoes and zucchini cooked in olive oil. Um...that's it. Until next time.

when you go back you probably won't be 18, so how much will they charge?
