Today we went to the Acropolis Museum and visited the Parthenon and Acropolis. It was absolutely breathtaking to witness such history. The artifacts in the museum and the Acropolis itself are not only windows into history, but also influence society, culture, religion and philosophy. I also think our schedule of starting in Washington DC for orientation before heading to Athens was very well crafted. It made for interesting connections, as DC is the center of American government but Athens is the birthplace of democracy. The trip has been very fun and educational so far!
