Brittneys College Experiences: Temple of Poseidon and Mexican food

Yesterday instead of going to the beach for the 3^rd day in a row I went to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. I read online that I should take a bus from the metro stop Victoria and that it would be like 4€ to get there so I headed off figuring 8€ to see a temple that’s on cliffs by the sea would be well worth it. Well it turned out that it was 6,30€ each way but still worth it.

While on the bus there I met two retired couples from Australia that were on a 3 week long vacation and had just arrived in Athens the day before. Australians travel a lot. I have met quite a few on my travels. I taught them some helpful Greek words told them a little about the culture. They were very nice.

I got to the temple and it was awesome. You could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and once the school group left it was really peaceful. I took a few pictures then walked down the hill a little to sit and wait for sunset to come so I could get the awesome pictures that I saw online and in the book Aunt Nancy gave me. I did get some really cool shots but the last bus left before I wanted it too but oh well. As we came around the corner after leaving I looked back and you could see the moon coming up over it. I really wished I had a car so that I could stay and take pictures of the temple with the moon behind it. That would have been a really cool picture.

When I got off of the metro on my way home another study abroad student was on the bus with her mom. We talked about all the cool things to see in Greece and her mom seemed pretty cool. Then when I got off of the bus and started walking home I ran into the rest of the study abroad students who are here and not on a vacation. They asked me if I wanted to go get some Mexican food. I couldn’t turn down food with flavor so I went. Boy am I glad I went, it was worth every penny to eat legit Mexican food. I was so happy to have food with flavor. Greek food uses more like oregano and stuff like that, not really spicy or super flavorful stuff so I was soooo happy to eat enchiladas and refried beans.
