We made it into Greece safely at 2 in the morning!! Our group had hired a private taxi to pick us up-we all had to shell out about 20 but there were no transportation running and taxis are double at night. Paul, our driver was nice and gave us a little tour of Athens.
We headed out around 10 to the Parthenon, it was amazing!!! The climb to the top was pleasant and the sun was shining! We had gotten a pass to the Acropolis and a dew other sites. It was stupid because EU students get half off, so we would only have to pay 6 euros but I hadn't brought my Roberts I.D, so I showed the lady my visa that says I'm a EU student and she told that I couldn't use it!!! So, Jenna and I ended up paying 12 euros:/ It was so stupid because I would think that they would want to make sure the students were UR ones. Once we got to the top of the Acropolis, there was an amazing view of Athens. After that, we headed to the theater of Dionysos which was basically all ruins and there wasn't much to see. After that, we head to the oldest part of Athens, Plaka and did some shopping. I got a few items for myself and other people. We headed back to the Apollo Hotel because a few of us had to work on our art paper. In a few minutes we will head to the National Archaeological Museum and then dinner. Thats all for now, I will write more if anything exciting happens.
