It's all Greek to me

Very busy day that started with the Olympic Stadium and continued through to Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora and Hadrian's Library.  And just to bring us to modern time, we stopped by the Parliament on the way home.  I had been to the Acropolis 7 years ago when I came to Rome and Greece with Ian's High School Latin class but we didn't actually go into most of the other sites (Theatre of Dionysis, Agora, etc) so it was nice to see them up close.  The kids have been great despite all the walking and general lack of food (because they don't want to eat any of the local variety).  We were thrilled to find that Greece, unlike Turkey, had heard of drinking fountains!
