Acropolis Museum


Today I had one class at 9:30 this morning and then a huge break until I had another one at 4:40. I asked if anyone else had a break and if they would like to go to the Acropolis Museum because it was free entrance today. Sam and Kelsey went with me to the museum. My plans for the day got a little sidetracked when they went on a hunt for gyros and coffee. We did get to see the museum which was pretty cool. They built the building over some ruins but they made the floor glass so you can see what it looked like. But sadly we didn’t get to hike up to the Parthenon after finding coffee and gyros because everything in Greece closes at like 3.

We decided to go and find a store one of the other girls said was really cool, but me not liking to shop, after finding the store and spending some time aimlessly wandering around convinced them to go look for this shoe maker. We found him and asked him how much his shoes were and how long it took him to make a pair and then told him we would be back with our group to buy shoes(He said the shoes were like 30€ and it takes him about 30 min to fit them to your feet).  Link to sandals which pair should I get?
By this time I had to go back to school for my last class. You have to plan a lot of time for public transportation as this is Greece and they run on whatever happens happens time. Even professors are late to class like 10 minutes and it’s like no biggie.  
These pictures are outside of the museum becuase they had signs saying no pictures (although there were people inside taking pictures we thought it better safe than sorry) and you had to check your bags in with a service before you could go in. But the floor inside is also see through like this


This is a car company. This picture is mostly for fun to show the different types of car companies
