Our excursion was to the Athens National Museum. What a treasure trove this place is. It is filled with antiquities and our knowledgable tour guide gave us a full explanation pertaining to each sculpture she showed us. I was like a sponge taking it all in. To the right is a statue of Poseidon, the Sea god. He was found in the sea. I know I've seen pictures of this statue many times, and here it is up close and personal.
We also were taken to the Parthenon and it's beautiful.
Athens is the capitol city of Greece. Too bad the people of Greece don't take more pride in their famous capitol city. It was so sad to see the dirt and graffiti covering every blank space on most every building. I've never seen so much of it as here.
