The view from the Acropolis

At the top, the view is magical. We were fortunate to meet an American man (one of three other tourists, the others being a German couple, crowding us by occasionally getting within our line of sight), Bill from Minnesota, who was charming and pleasant company. Ria climbed things — trees, walls, rocks, into caves — while Bill and I dozed in the sunlight and soaked up the surreality of being in such an incredible place.
