Parthenon Postcard

 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. 

Relief below is reproduction. Original looted by Lord Elgin and now in British Museum. Greece wants them back. 

Renovation work continues. 

Looking up from starting point 

Today, Friday we head to the small ship for the rest of our trip to five or more islands.
