Docked at Piraeus and were off without a hitch. Haggled a taxi into Athens. Walked the Acropolis museum. Mark believes every thing is a fake. ;). Meet George and had a wonderful tour including temple of Zeus, Hadrian's arch, Hadrian's library, the Greek and Roman agora, climbed Ares rock where st. Paul preached, (very slippery) the theater of Dionysus, and climbed to the top of the Acropolis saw the temple of Athena Nike and learned about Greek building tricks. Walked the Athens marketplace and haggled a taxi ride back to the boat. The kids played in the pool. Had cocktails hors d'ouvres and a nice dinner. Time for bed. Plan for tomorrow.... Dock at Izmir Turkey at 6am. Going on a ship planned excursion to Ephesus going to see amphitheater library, temple of Hadrian, scholastic baths, lower agora, state agora, and odeon. Having a great time. Boat WiFi won't let me post pics.
