Today was our first full day in Athens. We started the morning with a group discussion on Ancient Greece then headed over to the Agora. The Agora, which means open space was the meeting place for the citizens of Athenian democracy. There is a relatively new onsite museum, the Stoa of Attalos that displays artifacts found at the Agora. After lunch and Orientation we made our way over to the new Acropolis Museum. Our instructor Chris Guided us through the museum and filled our minds with fun facts and interesting insights, and just in case that wasn't enough info, the museum offers a 10 minute documentary about the history of the Parthenon! After the Museum visit we had an hour and half of down time before another wonderful group dinner, then.. our first friendly competition; a photo scavenger hunt!
