A walk in the garden

This is Annabel writing, and these are my pictures.  Here are one picture of the Athens Centre and one picture taken from the Athens Centre.  The second one is of the Acropolis.  The Athens Centre is the place where my dad is teaching.

The next day we went on a walk through the National Gardens, but we passed by the Olympic Stadium first.  It can seat 80,000 people, or all of Fairbanks.  This was the first Olympic Stadium.

While we were in the Gardens we saw a tortoise walking across the path.  They've been feral for a hundred years--that means sort of wild and sort of not.  But I bet they haven't been eating popcorn for a hundred years. 

After we were done walking in the Gardens, we stopped to get a drink in a cafe on Syntagma, the main square of Athens, and nearby there was a tree with seedpods that looked like snakes hanging from the branches.

Tomorrow we are going to an island called Egina for the weekend.
