Day 35 - Athens

DISCLAIMER: You are about to see some vain shots of me. Please do not judge as I toured Athens alone [with a taxi driver/tour guide who didn't go down with me] and I really wanted to take a picture of myself with these monuments. Forgive me.
First Stop: Acropolis Museum. It's the site where the original Acropolis was. Too bad they didn't preserve it. :(
We weren't allowed to take pictures inside but I snuck in a few shots.
Nice, noh? Those are some stuff they unearthed that the Greeks used to use.
That's the Parthenon from below.
I couldn't get enough of it. I just kept taking pictures.
Second Stop: The Parthenon. That's a picture of a theater.
And me with it. HAHA.
I'm climbing to go up the Parthenon!
Finally, I see it up close!
Here's the temple beside it.
And more of it from the side.
Of course, the Greeks are proud of their country and placed a flag where you can have a view of the entire Athens.
The Parthenon from up above.
And me with it! HAHA.
Forgive the face. It was cold and windy.
That's the original tablet when Moses preached there.
And this is the view from the rock where he preached.
There was even a wedding! Imagine what it must be like to get married in Greece. Wow.
Last Stop: Modern Olympic Theater. Super nice but it was raining so I couldn't go down.
Once I got to the airport, I made sure to try Greek McDo and here I ordered a McFarm. It's so good! There's an original Greek burger as the patty. So yummy.
On my way home in the Vienna airport, I bumped into this guy because he saw me having trouble getting a ticket. Turns out, he's a famous guy in Vienna and is a host of some TV show. He also used to sing with *NSYNC, my favorite band in the world, when they toured Europe. We talked until he had to leave because his stop was before mine but he made sure to give me his contact details.

He texted me after! I hope you can read what it says. I was super starstruck but I didn't show it. What a nice guy.
