Greece! (Part 1 - Athens)

Back in 2014, my friend Kate and I went to Greece to meet up with a friend of her's, Chris, who was traveling around the world for a year.   Here are some really belated pictures (started the post in 2014...guess I forgot to finish it!)

Oh hey MDI!


Appropriate picture of Switzerland
Geneva

The Alps

The Greek Coast
Arrived in Greece around 5pm, took their metro to the hotel and walked up towards the Plaka (old neighborhood) to find dinner!  Also found our first views of the Acropolis!
Athens Acropolis- the first view!

View over the Plaka to a monestary
We got a bit lost trying to find the restaurant for dinner... the cats were terrible at giving directions
Cats, the Athenian version of DC's rats
Cat and chair sanctuary
Poser
Turn the corner and there's the place we're looking for!

Turn another corner and people eat on the steps!
Ruins, ruins, everywhere...

 Back at the Intercontinental Hotel we headed up to the roof top bar!  (awful location, surrounded by strip clubs, except for the view)
Acropolis in the distance



First full day- exploring the Acropolis and area
