Today is the last day of our vacation, we are both sad to see it end but also ready to come home. We decided to have a lazy day in Athens. Woke up at a scandalous 9:30 and wandered over to the Agora. The Agora was the central market and meeting place for the city of Athens, the hub of life. There was one intact temple as well as lots of ruins everywhere. There was also a small museum on site showing items from everyday life in ancient Athens. We then wandered the city for awhile, taking in the atmosphere. It is such a strange city, it feels like the most and least European city I’ve ever been to. Towards the most, it is full of ancient sites scattered throughout the city, we stumbled upon them all over the place. Towards the least, the level of poverty was astounding, not at all like other European countries with their strong safety nets. The lost decade of economic collapse was evident everywhere. After grabbing a couple beers and some souvenir shopping, we went to the Acropolis museum. A really interesting museum hovering over an excavation site of 4th century BC homes. That museum was full of statuary and relics found on the Acropolis site. At the top of the museum they recreated the dimensions of the Parthenon and laid out all the marble statues where they would be on the actual building. It was very cool! Then we went for ice cream, yum! And a nice dinner of gyros and kebab, super super tasty. After that, a nice relax at our hotel’s rooftop bar overlooking the Acropolis. Goodbye Athens, it was lovely!
