Parthenon, Dinner and a Boring Opera by Angus

Today and yesterday we went to some cool places and a boring event at a cool place. First we went to the Parthenon. It was pretty awesome! I learned that the Greeks worshipped their Gods by making  really huge temples and the Parthenon was enormous. The center acroterion which went on the roof and was carved  was really about 12 feet tall. There was also a smaller temple that was dedicated for both Athena, who they named Athens after, and Poseidon, who wanted to be the main God, too. This building has women shape columns. They are called caryatids. In the other video you can see the main temple. It is now Lord Elgen stole many parts of the Parthenon that's why it's so ripped apart. Other reasons were because of bombs and  churches who did not believe in Greek gods.

Today we went to the best dinner we've ever had. there are some pictures below. For only 15 euro which is about 22.50 we got a meat platter that was HUGE!!! And that was the small. It was layer over layer of grilled meat with potato chip looking french fries and tatziki and I also had some fried cheese called saganaki. It was awesome!

Later we went to a boring boring opera about some cheating guy. But it was in a really cool place so I paid attention more to the building than anything else. This was a Roman theater called the Odeon Herodes which was built when the Romans took over. It used to have a roof but now it doesn't so we sat outside under the moon. We decided to leave after the first opera because  we were tired and there was no public bathrooms. But I will never forget how beast it was!!!
