Wow! Athens was incredible! I would have to say that my favorite day in Athens was when we took a full day excursion to Mycenae and Nafplion and then, after walking down 999 steps, relaxed at the pebble beach (Argolic Gulf). The views were breath-taking and I truly felt myself take a step back into the history of the Mycenic people.
I only just arrived in Rome two days ago and I am already heal-over-heels in love with it. The Romans slow pace creates a nourishing and stress-free environment. The people are very friendly, the shops are cute, and the food is amazing! I had a delicious eggplant parmisan for dinner last night. The portion was perfect--not too big yet not too small. I am proud to admit that I have already had Italian Gelato three times. I must say, it is irrisistible!
As for now, my travels have been providing me with an enriching experience. I have been learning interesting information about the Greeks and Romans, while absorbing beautiful sights with my new friends. Also, all the walking is keeping me very fit! I cannot wait for the many opportunities to come this week in Rome and the following weeks in Florence and Paris!
