Olympia, Athens, Napoli

Ok so last time I put stuff up I didn't have time to caption anything so some of these are repeats but not all...



These were a couple of the roses in the garden at the hotel in Olympia the last night.... they smelt good and looked beautiful.


The sunset was amazing... I've never seen the sun so red.
 The next day we went to Myceane. They built these huge walls with stones that weight up to 100 tons...
 The famous Lion's Gate...
 town walls



 This is the Theater of Ancient Epidarus. Its a huge, original Greek theater. The acoustics are amazing... Me and Ambra sang directly in the center where the sound reverberates over the entire theater... it sounded so awesome! Don't worry... we sang 'This Little Light of Mine'


 This is a canal dug out by the Corinthians to connect two gulfs of the sea around Greece. it was huge and a long fall if that bridge had given out. Scary!
 HAHA! little Athens fire truck lol

 Ferry Boat
 Truck in Eurpoe... nothing like my dad's semi...
 I really do miss you guys!! We spent a couple hours at the beach and it was so relaxing!

 Acropolis from the roof top of the Plaka Hotel... at night (obviously)

The next ones are all from the National Archeological Museum in Athens...









We went to an opera in the Odion of Herodus Atticus on the Acropolis which was an original Roman theater... there were two operas and we were out till 1 in the morning... but we looked snazzy... I had to wear my converse with my dress clothes haha... hey hey Good lookin!!!










NAPOLI!!!

They had awesome mosaics... the one above is on the base of a column found in Pompeii

 this is the mosiac with Alexander the Great on the left.


 The so called Mountain of Marble...

This was on the roof of a huge room in the museum... it was awe inspiring to see this huge fresco sprawled on the ceiling... i wanted to lay down and just look at it but that would have been frowned upon i think...
 That is the mall in Napoli...


 Really big church that popped out of no where on the walk to the restaurant for dinner...

 Ambra and Rachal
 Denise and I
 Huge pizza they brought out for each one of us... it was bigger than my head...
This is a def no-no... you must eat your pizza with a fork and knife...
