Quick Hello

Hey!!!!
Just a quick post saying HELLO FROM ATHENS!
It's amazing here, the Parthenon is out of this world! Kathleen keeps saying that she would have hated to be the one to build it! It was so unreal walking up to it yesterday, and seeing the Temple of Nike... amazing. We picked up a friend here, Ngueng (probably butchering that name, will fix when I get home), she's studying abroad in Paris, and goes to Hamilton College in the States. She is traveling by herself, so we invited her to come with us the first night we were here, and she's been part of the gang since. Monica is here too, and her friends from Oxford have arrived, but I haven't seen them yet.

We have done so much in the last two days, my feet are killing me, but it's all been worth it. The most amazing thing for me was the Roman Agora! As much as I love the Parthenon, and all the Greek stuff, my heart stops at something Roman. I have a feeling I will just die in Rome. I was in a museum today, and I looked at my pics later, the majority of them are of the busts of my favorite Roman emperors. Um. Oh well. The Roman Agora though... funded by Julius Caesar and Augustus (going to ponder that one for a few), but we were there, and it was just amazing to be in something Roman, and look at the gate that two of my favs bought for the place... just amazing.

Okay well, time to go people watch by the Palace!!!!
