Athens

One of our first trip in Athens was to see the Temple of Zeus. It was never completed and later was damaged by storms.
Above is a picture of the Plaka, a lively area of town with lots of restaurants and tourist shops for people like us. Every where we went the greecian men tried to make Kaleb laugh and seemed so interested in him. I thought it was interesting b/c in the States, it's typically the women who are interested in babies.

Every once in a while Kaleb took a break from his stroller to chase some pigeons. We were at the tomb of the unknown soldier that had a changing of the guard ever hour. It was pretty interesting.


This is part of the Acropolis and is an ancient coliseum. You can see Athens in the background. They still have shows in it today. Some ballet dancers were practicing when we were there.




Here is family Bruns at the parthanon. It was much bigger and grander than the one in Nashville (where we got engaged), but there wasn't much left of the inside. It was blown away during a battle, where they were storing gun powder.
Athens was a big city, but Kaleb loved the subway and all the cars and taxis. He's definately a city boy, like his mom (except I'm a city girl). By the end of the day we would go back to our hotel room and Kaleb would jump back in his stroller and yell "GO!" He didn't hold us back from doing anything. He was a great traveller.
