Athens, Greece
I had the chance to travel through Athens, and explore some of the most amazing architecture in the world. Constructed from marble, limestone and other local rock, the ancient Greeks constructed some of the most beautiful buildings I have ever witnessed. After decades of war and weathering, some of the magnificent buildings are now just remnants of what once was, but you can imagine what their presence represented to the ancient people at the time of their construction. In addition to the amazing sites around the city, there is also local cuisine to be found every which way. I feasted on Moussaka, hummus, falafel, and endless amounts of their famous Greek yogurt. Greece was truly one of the most beautiful countries I've ever visited and I hope someday to return again.
