Today we were able to tour the Acropolis Museum. Karen, Alli’s mom was able to join us. On our way to the metro, we walked down the road the Unity marathon was going on. Our friends, Clint, Jill, Rebecca and Daniel were running. We were able to see and cheer on Clint and Jill! We enjoyed the museum and it was fun to have Karen with us. The Museum held many of the original pieces of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. It was very cool to walk through the museum and see the Acropolis towering above it.
After we finished the museum, we had the rest of the day free until 6pm. Our group, Alli, Kim, Jordan, Karen, Sarah from NC and Skyler from Oregon decided to stay near the Acropolis. We ate at a nice restaurant that had good food. After lunch we walked around and souvenir shopped. It was a fun, relaxing afternoon!
This evening, we had our final group dinner at Goudi Park. It was a great dinner with delicious food. We had a “catwalk” show because everyone came in their native dress. The whole event was outside under the trees which was very nice.

One of the biggest things I stressed to our group was making sure they were safe on the Metro. A lot of people have gotten pick pocketed on the Metro so they did a "scared in the Metro" picture. A hilarious group of kids!!
