The Acropolis At Last


So it was a bittersweet day.  After hearing the news I wasn’t feeling up to class at all.  However, it was finally time to go to the Acropolis so I just woke up, ate some chocolate, and ventured with the class to the Acropolis for class.  


We made our way there – it was a short walk – and climbed up to it finally.  It wasn’t as difficult to get up to than I thought.  It was amazing.  So much more than you could imagine.  


We actually had access for the class to go inside the Parthenon.  This was very special and not normal.  So these photos are once in a lifetime.



We only covered the Parthenon when we went today and will cover other buildings from the building project other times that we go.  The view is just amazing from the top.


After that class we had a break before our next class in the Acropolis Museum (how convenient). 


During that class we covered some statues for our next paper.  Unfortunately you can’t take photos in that museum because it is beautiful.  The rest of the day was spent doing the normal.  We had Byzantine where we found out we have an exam after Spring Break… not happy.  Then it was another joint dinner with Corinne and some relaxing in the evening.  The Spartans had a stupid meeting for that acting class but afterwards I got whisked away for a late night walk in the old Olympic Stadium – it was wonderful.
