Athens and London

Me at Parthenon
What a whirlwind of a week. Four days in Greece and one day in London plus lots of flying time. I'm just now sorting though the photos I took and these four are some of the best. This is a photo of me in front of the Parthenon at the Acropolis in Athens. We visited this site the first day because it was the closest to our hotel.



Me at Zeus Temple
The next day we toured the Temple of Olympian Zeus, which was also very near our hotel. This was the only day it almost rained, and once again, we got there early and beat the winter-time crowds.



Us at Aphaea Temple
On Thanksgiving, we took a hydrofoil to the island of Aegina. This is us in front of the Temple of Aphaea. This was the sunniest day of the trip, making for great photograph opportunities.



Me at Big Ben
No trip to London is complete without a picture of Big Ben. Of all the people in the area, I'd say 90% were tourists and they were taking photos of everything, despite the extremely cold temperatures.

At least you had a sunny sky in London! It's even worse to be there when it's cold and rainy. Athens looks great!

We lucked out with the weather in London. We would have been fine had we realized just how cold it was. 39F with wind is hard to deal with when your only jacket is a windbreaker!
