Today we went to the Acropolis and the ancient Agora. The Acropolis was pretty sweet. These are definitely the best ruins that I’ve seen despite the reconstruction that was going on. It is the “high city” after all. The view was spectacular as well. It was here that I saw the whole of Athens (which houses 1/3 of the population of Greece). The buildings in the distance resembled gravel spread about.
We also went to this viewing spot on Lycabettus Hill called the AG. Georgios. That view surpasses that of the Acropolis that I mentioned earlier. It’s cool to see the city lit up at night. There are veins of lights as opposed to geometrically ordered street lights of an American city. It’s also sick to see the Acropolis lit up in the distance. We had originally gone to catch the sunset, but as the trolley left at 6 and the sunset was at 6:07 we missed it by a few minutes. Oh well, it was smoggy anyway.
