Greece

Last week, our group spent a few days on the Greek island of Mykonos. It's a fun-filled few days where we relaxed and took a few days off from studies. We spent most of the daytime by the port harbor at the bottom of the island and had delicious course dinners at a local waterfront restaurant. The highlight was getting to know who your classmates really are and it was more a bonding experience with the group. But the day in Paradise Cove topped it all. My-ko-nos!!




After the fun in Myknonos we toured the Acropolis in Athens. It was another beautiful and hot summer day atop one of the world's most famous ancient historic structures of early civilization particularly the Mythology roots. Here in front of a temple of the goddess, Artemis I am at the beginning of the Acropolis taking the sights in of Ancient Greece. The picture below is the Theatre of Dionysus, a popular place to host plays and art festivals honoring the gods and goddesses of mythology. It is one of the better in-shapes structures on the Acropolis area as it was one of few that wasn't still in renovation or a construction site. This theatre is mentioned in almost every history and ancient european history known to man. Athens thankfully still has the history as the financial struggle in the city was very noticeable throughout the tour.
