Adventuring around Greece

Hi! Today it was all around Greece. The first thing we did was go to the famous flea market, where  I got a my name in greek on a necklace for six euros. After, we went around the cool shops, cafes and saw neat artwork. Then we walked  to Hadrian's Library, it was wasn't really a library it was a cultural center where people could do poetry readings and study. Hadrian's Library was named after the Emperor Hadrian, it was built in  132 AD. We got to take pictures  and even touch the columns, I really enjoyed the experience. Next, we walked around to the where one mans junk is another mans treasure ( flea market). There were a lot of people selling very old stuff that was sometimes junk. Then, after the walking around the main square we headed to the Ancient Angora. We walked and gave our ticket for the site and we headed off. It was a very hot day and we had a very light lunch so we ate our bars in the shade. 

After that, we walked to the nearest building it was the Stoa of Attalos. We went in and enjoyed the shade. Then, when we  were all done we walked to the temple that was ahead of us.  On the hill by the temple there was a magnificent and breathtaking view, you could see the whole Acropolis. AWESOME! Lastly, we were getting tired so we walked for what felt like hours until my parents decided we could take a break at a cafe and have a snack. We ordered a large plate that had mozzarella sticks, spring rolls, chicken pieces, and sausages, hamburger meat. On the side we had sweet chili sauce and barbecue sauce. Yum!  That great meal washed down with ice water. After, we paid and we went walking until we went into this park and we found a wallet with someone's ID  Uh Oh! We returned it to the entrance booth on the way back. Lastly, we walked on the main pedestrian walk to our apartment, while we walked we stopped and bought post cards and mailed postcards. Finally,  it was time to go home so we walked back home happy, tired and excited for what lies ahead tomorrow!
