Day 8- Athens

** Note the picture above icecream in Germany. Nick and I at the super windy beach near our hotel in Athens the wind was blowing our shirts.

Today we went to the downtown part of Athens but first we started the day off with a delicious Greek breakfast provided by the hotel and it included a great cheese, tomatoes and bread. After breakfast we went on a panoramic tour of the ancient part of the city to see the Olympic stadium as well as Zeus' palace and some old Greek architecture. We were able to get off the bus at certain locations and take up close picture and had a great tour guide from Greece to navigate us. After the panoramic tour we went by foot and climbed from the bottom of the acropolis to the top while we received information along the way. We also were able to take amazing pictures of the city and of the ancient stones at the top. It was really nice and the weather was perfect. After we finished with the acropolis we went into a work shop where they had jewelery and handcrafted pots and authentic greek design. After that we continued with the walk tour and saw more of the old district and saw many shops and statues. The scenery was quite amazing. We finished the walking tour and then went with a group of people to go eat gyros in Greece. It was amazing and much better than I thought. Ashley and I continued to walk around the shop and try and haggle for deals but we only bought small items and some art as well. After 3 hours of walking around we met up with the group and went on the tram which is a small train and it was packed. I felt like I was on a New York City subway. Now we are just relaxing and plan on going with the group for the Greece v Argentina World Cup game in the town we are in and probably grab some dinner before the game.
