The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens has been here for 25 centuries. It has survived wars, looting, desecration, and pollution and yet it stands.
Night view from a restaurant Wednesday evening.
We walked up for a close up view early Thursday morning.
Today, Friday we head to the small ship for the rest of our trip to five or more islands.

Surely one of the most viewed monuments in the world.
Ah. To party at the Parthenon.
...thanks Marcia, I'm enjoying the journey with you.
Talk about learning wrong-history, my mind brings the phrase Elgin Marbles easily to mind. Hey, he stole them! So wonderful you're getting to walk the earth of those gifted Greeks who built Athens and all it's beauty.
This is quite an amazing building(?)ruin and I'm not surprised Greece wants their artifacts back. A great experience.
Greece is lucky they don't have a DJT I charge, wanting to slap tacky gold stuff all over it.
How wonderful to see these ancient buildings.
