This weekend I stayed out a lot. First, we visited the New Acropolis Museum, which I had avoided all summer, because I thought it would be kind to leave it to visitors and tourists. But it was worth the wait. It is magnificent. My photos don’t do it justice because a.it was a very rainy and cloudy day and b. I had the small camera with me because it’s lighter and I had lots of walking to do. You can see it in all its glory here and here. You will be able to see photos from inside the museum too (photography is prohibited, so no photos from me).
The remains of an Early Christian area, discovered when the museum’s foundations were being excavated. You can see them under the glass floor.
The museum cafe and restaurant with great views to the Acropolis and yummy sandwiches
and a fantastic apple-pie, one of the best ever.
Then, on Sunday, a much brighter day, we went for a walk to Monastiraki
and had coffee
and browsed the antiques
What were you up to this weekend?
or that you’d dropped your wedding ring and would he help you find it?
