Nick's European Art Whirlwind

I headed out to Thessaloniki on a 6 hour train ride from Athens. There I stayed with the daughters of my Mom's family friend. It was fantastic. Thessaloniki is such a different type of city, being that the University draws many students making it a college town. Here I will let these photos paint a better picture.

SO. I have been in Athens for the past few days and my goodness have I seen some amazing stuff. First of all, Athens as a city is really interesting and very different from Berlin or Copenhagen. The way the city is laid out adheres to the uneven terrain of the area. Also the fact that there are so many features of the city that are so OLD. It is simply amazing, I would get off the subway only to find beautiful artifacts from ancient greece on display. Then I went to the Museum of Archaeology. Talk about some amazing work. I will let some pictures speak for themselves here. Then the next day I went to Parthenon. Greece is amazing, Athens as well. I am honestly so blessed that I can be here in the shadows of such history.
