It is a really beautiful country, but you should see the drivers! They see the red light but they think it should be green so they just go and they speed and whip around corners.
Enough about that. Today we walked from our apartment to the Temple of Zeus. On the way to the Temple of Zeus We passed Hadrian's Arch. I learned that on the east side of Hadrian's Arch is a saying that this is the city of Hadrian the emperor. The other side of the arch pointing west is saying this is the city of Theseus. The Hadrian's Arch was constructed in 131AD.
We walked and took lots of pictures of the columns. However, there used to be over one hundred but now there are only sixteen that remain still standing. Next, we took a break because the sun was beaming like crazy. So we all wiped our necks with water from the fountain and then we walked towards the exit to the National
We reached a place that looked like the Botanical Gardens and ate our bars. Then, we walked around the garden until we found the entrance so we followed my brother ( the map boy) to the turtle pond towards the zoo and playground. When we got to the turtle pond their were yellow stripe, red stripe and blue stripe neck turtles. After, we walked past the turtle pond we went to the zoo and saw over one hundred different kinds of birds, goats and really cute bunnies. Awwwww! After, the zoo we went to the playground. We went on this spinning ride, where you would hang and spin around while holding your body up. Next, I went on the swings until I got dizzy. Finally, we all were getting hungry so we went home to our apartment.
