Piraeus, Greece

The following day we had another very early morning.  We disembarked again at about 715am. J-Twice decided to stay behind and sleep in this morning. I almost wish I would have stayed with him! ha ha  After much debate, we finally got in a cab and went exploring.  We headed towards the Acropolis of Athens and of course, after 4 pictures, my camera decided to die. Go figure. Thankfully I had 3 other people with me that take fantastic photos and don't mind me "stealing" their pictures! We saw the Parthenon, Temple of Zeus, Philopappos Monument, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, to name a few!

After we visited these places, we headed toward the Parliament (or "home of 300 thieves" as our taxi driver called it! ha ha nice to see that is common all over the world and not just in America!)  and watched the changing of the guards at their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Quite the experience in such a short time! We only had 2 hours to see all of this, and could have used much more. The architecture around there was just astounding! That is one thing I love about visitng all of these places.  I wish we could have had more time to explore more of the city life and not just the history, but at least we saw something. This def. wasn't one of my favorite places, but it still was better than Crete, in my opinion!
