Every so often the sun shown through the clouds making the columns glow for a good photograph.
A view of the Acropolis taken a few blogs from our hotel on our first day in Athens. The Acropolis can be seen from almost anywhere in the city, which made for a good landmark to use so we knew where we were in reference to our hotel.
I'm not sure what we're cheering, but it must be exciting. In fact, I'm not sure what events took place in this theatre. Unlike Peru, we had no private guided tours. I'm sure we would have learned much more about the Greek culture, but we relied instead on a tourist guide book.
Like I said before, we beat the tour bus crowds to the major sites. This was taken by one of the cats we befriended.
It almost appears that the people are ice skating, but there are just going about their business. Like Barcelona, there were Christmas decorations all along the street, but we never saw them turned on except on the last night, but only down by the port.

Hmmm. Most people refer to things as a few blocks away. Interesting that you managed to be a few blogs away.
