Around Athens



Upon our arrival at the Athens airport, we were greeted with this race sign.







J.T., Mike, and Roger at the ancient, marble stadium where their marathon would finish. This stadium was refurbished for the first modern Olympics, in 1896.



View looking up into an olive tree as we approached the Parthenon.






We enjoyed the Parthenon Museum.




The glass man of Athens

There are many statues in Athens that were built for the 2004 Olympics. This one is one of the most popular. It is made out of slabs of "broken" glass stacked one on top of another.
