Athens Day 2

 Visit my Scrumptious blog to view my breakfast at the Hotel Melia Athens.


After breakfast, it's time to visit the Acropolis of Athens..
 view from afar

 got our tickets ready

 
 reached the gate of entrance

 a must-post picture of rememberance

 All of us (100) got ready for a photo shot. 
The wind-breakers were given free to us by Wyeth.

 Then we adjourned to the highest part.

 I simply loved the feel of it..being right in the compound.

 The Parthenon is being restructured to its original structure.

 The flag of Greece stands proudly there.

 Love its unique pillars.
Visit my Knowledge blog for more pictures.

 Time to get down.

3 coaches were already waiting for us.
We spent about 2 hours there.
Simply amazing!

    I can imagine the nice and wonderful feeling you had when you were standing right there in the compound of the Acropolis. Was the weather hot or cold there? I noticed that it was very sunny from the photos.

Twin bananas

Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
