I don't own a camera because I rarely want to take pictures of anything. My parents, however, do own one, and they've used it a time or two since I've been here. Today, I actually picked it up myself for a few moments and got a couple of shots off. Any pictures you see with me in them were taken by my parents; everything else was taken by me.




Acropolis

Me, Rachel (sister-in-law), Libby (niece #2), Emma (niece #1), Dianne (mom), and Garret (older brother) at the Acropolis. This was my second time to see this, since I was here back in 2000.
Libby & Lukas

Me with my niece Libby in the food court of the Athens mall. Yes, the Athens mall is just as boring as an American mall.

This is the Temple of Poseidon on the Sounion Peninsula. Very cool. The poet Lord Byron carved some graffiti into one of the square columns. I have a picture of it, but even under good conditions, it's hard to see. I may post it later after I've had a chance to do some photoshop enhancements.

Apparently, Starbucks is universal. My parents say they just come here whenever they get homesick for the U.S. At least it's better than McDonalds.




The Acropolis and Starbucks pictures were taken on a different day from the Sounion pictures. My clothes are the same because I packed very few changes of clothes so that I could carry everything on and just do laundry a couple of times while I was here. Now, the stupid terrorists have ruined everything. Way to go, jerks.
