Athens Greece

OPA!

This is a picture of the Acropolis (sacred rock) from the rooftop pool of my hotel. I spent most of my day at the Plaka area of Athens exploring the ruins.

The Acroplis was built as a temple for worship in 438 BC. It took 15 years to complete. I climbed up the hill to tour the Acropolis up close.

Here is a view looking down from the Acropolis onto the Temple of Athena.
The churches in Greece are tiny. This particular church is built on the original ground the city has been rebuilt up around it on top of ruins after ruins.
More Ruins...
This is where we ate dinner at the very top of these stairs on the roof top of the restaurant. It was a great view!

Brussels at Christmas!

Last December I went to Brussels Belgium!
In the middle of town they had an ice skating rink, rides, food and shopping.
This is one of the main shopping streets where you can find the beautiful Belgium lace.
The town plaza had a big Christmas tree and a live manger!
My favorite flight attendant and roomate in Newark worked this trip with me!
Whenever I am in Brussels I always have a Belgium waffle. The waffles never taste better than they do in Belgium!

Christmas time in Europe is so much fun!

Bristol England

BRISTOL ENGLAND

The last time I went to Bristol England, I took a 20 minute train ride to Bath England. You may have heard of Bath because that is where the ancient Roman Baths are.
The Roman Bath resembled a spa, where people would go daily for exercise and personal hygiene.
