Free Day

Today we had a free day. Our original plans were to go to the island of Agora, but as a result of the riots and demonstrations this was not possible because must of the transportation was shut down. So we took a bus to go see the temple of Poseidon.

Instead of going up to the temple several of us just enjoyed the view of the Mediterranean on top of the cliff. The view was spectacular, the water was a deep blue, the sound of the water was a lulling relaxing, and the sun was shining down on us.

We then took the bus back to a different beach where there was sand. The sand had a bunch of unique shells and rocks, many of them were very tiny, those of which I collected and took as a souvenir. I also got my bottle of sand, which has three different layers of different sand from the beach.

The evening ending with a beautiful sunset over the deep blue water. This sunset lip up the sky and the water, it was truly spectacular.

All in all in turned out to be a pretty good day, considering it was riot day in Athens.
