Athens


November 15 -We spent a day touring Athens. The Acropolis provided a great "teaching moment" - an opportunity to talk about democracy and input in the governmental process.

Built in the 5th century BC this archetypical image of Western Culture attracts over 3 million tourists a year. Athens is the capital of Greece. It has been inhabited continuously for over 7000 years and has been one of the most important and influencial cities in the western world.

An absolute must: A visit to the Acropolis!
