Around the Archeological Sites of Athens

Partial standing buildings, faithful reconstructions, and thousands of people summarizes my tour today. Athens did not impress me in the first few hours, but once I stood beanith the Parthenon or gazed on the master craftsmanship (as Justin liked to remind me what it was called), I began to warm to Athens and enjoy my day exploring the ancient city where gods like Athena and Zeus use to rule.
