Simply magical!
One
of the most beautiful, and historically significant cities anywhere on
this planet. The feeling of art, and science and philosophy just
permeates the air at the theater at the Acropolis. I jumped the fence
and went to the stage before security caught me. I played the dumb
American role and they just yelled at me.
Imagine,
Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras lecturing on philosophies and
science and matematics so long ago. They were light years ahead of their
time. The Parthenon is fabulous. It was built to honor the goddess of
wisdom, Athena. I bought a medal and chain of Athena & wore it
proudly the rest of the tour.
Athens
is huge and from the top of the mountain you can see the city proper
extend for over 10 miles standing at the top of the hill. Wayne, Gilbey
& myself had a awesome personal guide for the tour. You really
feel like a world traveler when you are there. Just way too cool. If you
can get there do it! You will love it, I swear on a stack of those
scholars books!
