Acropolis, Parthenon and the Castro oh my!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the rest of our time in Athens

View from our balcony

Morning ritual: coffee, reading and writing.

First stop: gyros. Yum.

Are we going to have to hike up there?

The answer was yes. This was our first stop/rest half way up. Preeeetty.

The old theater of the Acropolis, at our second stop/rest.

There is supposed to be a video here of the Parthenon, but unfortunately our iPhoto has recently crashed. As soon as we can figure out what has happened, a video with go here.

My own personal payoff for getting to the top....cRats!

cRats like ruins too.

cRats and the amazing view of Athens. So big!

"hot dog", Shai's favorite.

Day 3, we took the Metro to try to find a big Flea market but found this instead..

Yay, bikes!

We found out that our book that was published 2008 was a little out of date, so there was no big outside flea market. The neighborhood that we did end up in, both Shai and I thought, looked and felt like the Castro.

Right?!?

So we found a cafe and sat all day and read and drank Greek coffee.

That's right: Hellas Trans. I must live in Oakland, because this is awesome. (side note, we later found out that  Hellas is  Greece in Greek.)

Our last night in Athens we tracked down a movie theater. The theater was awesome,  but we saw  Bachelorette.  I wouldn't recommend the movie to ANYBODY. It was incredibly terrible and hit every single -ism. We talked about walking out, and we would have had we been in the US, but suffered through as to not be the rude Americans.

Okay, thats most of Athens.  Here is the last few photos of my favorite part of Athens, besides the food, the people that reside in Athens and the beautiful Archeological sites.

Two words: Street Art. Athens, you rock the street art for sure.

(This totally would be my tag if I was a street artist)

(wheat pastes I love you)

Next up: Rhodes and beachy times.
