This morning at five a.m. in the morning, a taxi drove us to the airport on the island of Samos. From there we got on a one houre plain ride to Athens. Waiting for us in the Athens airport was the all time famous taxi driver: George. We all hopped in his bright yellow car and went on an amazing sight seen drive around the Roman ruin filled city of Athens. Our first stop was the first Olympic stadium ever built. The stadium was constructed by the Greeks and made completly out of marble.
Now George will take us on a drive through the city and eventually arrive at a breth taking Roman structure, the Parthanon. George parked his taxi and the bottom of a hill while we climbed to the top. On our way up, someone asked if we would like to go on a privite tour for half price with only two other people. How could some one say no to that. Well come to think of it, we almost did. But in the end we had a fantastic tour of the Parthanon; and got some spectacular photo's.
