22 April 2023 - Athens
Time for a bit of a walk to the Agora. The Agora is the ruins of the original Roman Forum from the time the Romans were running things around here. That Emperor Hadrian guy (we met him yesterday at his arch) liked Athens so he built a lot of stuff to make it feel like Rome when he was hanging out in Athens.
They wanted €20 to get in so instead we ate lunch at the cafe next door and looked through the fence.
After lunch it was time to see Hadrian's Library. If you have any books checked out of it you really are racking up big fines.
Typical overdue fine offender
I had one of these as a kid. My grandkids have it now.
Need a radio?
Or a camera?
Or just about anything?
We didn't buy a thing. We like to stay carry-on.
On the way home we had to stop at the Mona Lisa ice cream shop to see the Mona Lisa chocolate waterfall.
Yes, that's a chocolate Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa is hard to see but she's there; and she's hot because the chocolate wouldn't flow otherwise.
They swore that the chocolate is never used for food. Smells good enough to eat. The chocolate I mean.
Weather is good at around 65 or 70 and 85% humidity so you don't feel cold.
Coming Attractions...
Tomorrow is our big day in Athens because we go the Acropolis.
