AGM and Greece

We did not post this BEFORE we left (which would have helped), but we spent the last two weeks in Greece. Every year we have a meeting with other people like ourselves in Central and Eastern Europe. Last year it was in Poland and this year it was in Greece. We stayed on an island about 60 miles from Athens for the week and it was great. Two days before AGM, we stayed in Athens and did some site seeing. Below are a couple pictures of the Acropolis. Of course, I have about 200 more pictures so if anyone is interested in more, send us an email.

The Parthenon is under construction so there was as much support structure as there was stone!


This is a view of the mountain top from the very end of the plateau.


And this is a picture of theater of Herod Atticus. It is most known nowadays as the place where Yanni plays.

After AGM, we spent 4 days camping on the Peloponnese peninsula below Athens in a town name Tolo. It was borderline too hot to camp, but since we were at the beach during the day it wasn't so bad. One day we found this spot outside of Tolo farther down the coast:



Tolo is a town on the beach but as the town ends, a "real" beach begins. This is a picture of the beach just beside a restaurant.

Overall it was fairly relaxing, but definitely hot. It made us appreciate the air conditioning that we had had at AGM.
