My niece, Julie Poulos Williams (half Greek herself) called to tell me I hadn't posted any photos of our time in Athens from July 18-20 so here are a few. It was a fantastic time for both of us, Dan got to explore places he hadn't had time for before and our hotel, the Amalia, was directly across from the Palace Gardens and very close to the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, Syntegama Square, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament House (the old Palace) where we watched the changing of the guards, Panathenaikon Stadium which was the site of the first modern Olympic games in 1896, and a few blocks from the renowned "Plaka" district located around the base of the Acropolis.
Here are photos of the Acropolis, Parthenon, Agora and such. Dan actually got to stand on Mars Hill and look across to the Acropolis as he prayed for Athens like the Apostle Paul did in the book of Acts.
