The Parthenon

---

Finally, the day was here. To see the Parthenon up close was a big reason for me for wanting to apply for this scholarship. The Acropolis didn’t disappoint. Please do not be disappointed in me if I let my pictures do the talking tonight.

Before I end though, I had the unique opportunity to visit with a friend from Alexander County. In fact, I’ve taught her children and she is here in Athens with her oldest son doing missionary work. I had the address they were staying at, so after a subway ride and a short taxi ride, I was able to surprise them with a short visit. It is a small world.
