Honeymoon, Day 7 Athens

July 18, 2004

We didn't realize that the Acropolis was so freakin' huge

Ruins of the Theatre of Dionysos at the Acropolis

Better shot of the Theatre of Dionysos

City of Athens from the Acropolis

Athens from the Temple of Nike

The Parthenon

The Temple of Nike is undergoing serious construction

Parthenon again

Self-portrait with the Parthenon

Erin with the Erechtheion

Good shot of the Porch of the Caryatids

These are replicas; the real ladies are below in the museum

Athens has a lot of steep hills

Here's Athens

The far side of the Erechtheion

The Parthenon

Erin and Matt with the Parthenon

Here are 5 of the real ladies; the 6th is in the British Museum

Under the Acropolis is this museum with tons of artifacts

Matt relaxing on top of the Acropolis

Matt at the base of the Temple of Nike

The original Olympic stadium

Erin in the stadium

These guys are guarding the house of the leader of Greece

And here's his house

There are two guards

You can sort of see the Temple of Zeus as we drive by

This is the Greek Parliament

Thought this building was neat because of the statues :)

Hadrian's Arch, built in AD 131 to honor Roman Emperor Hadrian

Ok, now we're not in Athens, we're at Cape Sounion

Here is the Temple of Poseidon

Erin and Matt with the Temple of Poseidon

The temple is on a gorgeous cliff overlooking the sea

Matt below the temple

Erin being silly with very old ruins

It was built in 444 BC

Beautiful views

Matt freaking Erin out

Hard to show how steep it is

It's a long way down...

I like this picture :)

Locals enjoying a beach on our way back to Athens
