Acropolis from a distance...


Acropolis from a distance..., originally uploaded by wr_downing33.

This was about as close as we could get today. These strikes are terrible. Everything today was basically closed to the public. In a country that is so desperate for tourism dollars to help their failing economy, they sure seem to be going out of their way to upset those who have come wanting to spend time and money and learn about Greece.

Its not that big of a deal for me since I am here about 3 times a year, but this being Jessaca's first time, I really wanted her to share in the history and culture that makes Athens such a super cool place.

That being said, we had a great day, and I am going to post some sweet pics on Flickr shortly.....

Tomorrow there is no strike!
