Athens

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: 

Athens.

 the view from the Acropolis.

 true blue. 

 Acts 17--Paul on Mars Hill

 the view of the Acropolis from Mars Hill.

 Changing of the guard at the president's home.

 oranges were everywhere!

 Athens also has some legit graffiti. 

I wonder how many photos is too many for a blog post. 

This might be pushing the limits. :) 

a few more stops.

A few more pictures from our last days in Italy.

Paestum, Trentinara, and Amalfi Coast.

 First stop, a train ride to Paestum. 

 the view from Trentinara (Liz's great grandmother's hometown). 

Unfortunately it was shaping up to be a rainy day, so the Mediterranean is barely visible.

 with some of the kindest, most hospitable parenti (relatives) you could ask for.

 Trentinara is in the mountains in the background.

 Italian water buffalo, the reason there is buffalo mozzarella cheese.

Delicious. 

 ancient Greek ruins at Paestum (dating from about 600 BC)

 Amalfi Coast. 

A rainy day again, but beautiful nonetheless.
