Hi from Athens, John! There is just so much ancient history to explore here. My first stop was the Acropolis. What a place—I never realised the columns would be so big! The old quarter of Plaka is just like a painting—little streets of houses on hills, all painted white and blue. I go there every night and find a little restaurant to try some traditional Greek food. After my meal, I always order a lovely Greek coffee and just soak up the atmosphere. Tomorrow, I'm going to see the changing of the guard. I can't wait to take a selfie with them—and their funny shoes! Take care!
