Athen’s Roman Agora

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

I’m not sure exactly what we were expecting the Roman Agora to be, but it wasn’t this.  Mostly, it’s a big empty field, with ruins bordering it.  And the weird thing is that we could step right up on the ruins and touch things, which was so disorienting we kept looking for the signs that … Continue reading →

Athens: Plaka in Photos

Posted on October 24, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

I love travel books.  Often, when browsing a bookstore, I find myself in front of the travel books and maps of foreign cities.  The debate begins: I don’t need another travel book.  I really don’t need another travel book on my shelf.  Am I even ever going to go to Bucharest? …Well, I mean, look … Continue reading →

New Acropolis Museum

Posted on October 19, 2016 by Meg • 2 Comments

The New Acropolis Museum stands starkly out from the landscape of Athens.  It is a modern, black and glass building, with the top floor perched oddly askew.  But for an up close view of the of collections of antiquities, there’s not a better way to do it. And as it turns out, the top floor … Continue reading →

Athens: Arch Hadrian, Temple Zeus

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Meg • 2 Comments

After our time at the Acropolis, Ari (see This Post for details) walked with us over the the Arch of Hadrian and the Temple of Olympus Zeus, regaling us with stories of Greek history and current political intrigue. In previous travels, Scott and I had found to what extent much of European citizen’s concept of … Continue reading →

The Acropolis

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Meg • 5 Comments

Our first full day – at least together -in Athens, Scott and I were scheduled for a half day, private walking tour with Ari through <<<PKTravel>>>. Click <<<HERE>>> to visit their site, we were very happy with our tour.  They were very accommodating, and understanding even though we had to reschedule this last minute when Scott … Continue reading →

Cats of Athens

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

One of the things I didn’t expect in Athens, was the sheer number of stray cats.  They are everywhere.  They are quite brazen about slinking around under your table as you eat, hoping for some dropped goodies, and were quite expert at avoiding being touched.  They have adapted to the environment quite well. I took … Continue reading →

Changing of the Guard, Athens

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Meg • 1 Comment

After our lunch we decided some walking was good, (did you see how much food that was??) and seeing something that didn’t lock us in to any time commitments was even better – given Scott’s screwed up body clock and the aforementioned possibility of face-planting.  So we headed in the direction of Syntagma Square and … Continue reading →

Diogenes Lunch in Plaka, Athens

Posted on June 20, 2016 by Meg • 2 Comments

I am no longer husbandless!!  I no longer get a weird look when I am asked reason for travel, say “anniversary trip” and they look around for my other half. The dear husband had been through the trials and tribulations of international travel that seem to always happen to him.  So, he unpacked, we caught … Continue reading →

“You Look Up, You See Acropolis, You Know Where You Are.”
Athens / Greece

“You Look Up, You See Acropolis, You Know Where You Are.”

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

So, as I get up and get started, enjoying a cup of coffee on my terrace, staring at the Acropolis, I find myself husbandless.  Some of you may think, “Whoo-hoo!  Party!”  But, I’m not really the “Whoo-hoo! Party!” kind of person.  Plus, this is my 20th Anniversary trip.  And I’m husbandless. The plan now is … Continue reading →

The Tale of a Terrace and a Pod

Posted on June 3, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

I sat on our terrace, watching the sun set and the lights begin to illuminate the Acropolis, and texted with my husband.  We spoke briefly on the phone, but his battery was about to die.  I tried to feel bad for him… stuck in a pod in Moscow…   I had arrived in Athens, and … Continue reading →

The Best Laid Plans – Subject to Protest

Posted on May 8, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

Soon, after weeks apart while my husband travels for work, I will get to meet up with him in Athens.  Our 20th Anniversary is this summer, and we are spending two weeks together in Greece and Italy.  I’ve been looking forward to this trip for over a year. But the thing about travel is, you … Continue reading →
