Acropolis
I was looking through pictures today and I found a hidden nice one! I love that feeling!
Visiting the lock bridge in Paris. This bridge is full of locks of lovers who write their initials and throw the key into the Seine! But I also saw a lot of “bffs forever” locks, so whoever you are traveling with you can make a stop here!
In Paris. I was really reluctant to come back after visiting!
The Rialto Market in Venice.
A charming little wine bar in Corniglia, Cinque Terre, Italy. The walls were decorated with construction paper hearts!
Clowning around in the Vatican. Is that allowed?
There’s something magical about trucks in Rome…
A flower truck and a straw hat truck!
Manarola, Cinque Terre, Italy
A change of scenery!
Backpacking through Cinque Terre, Italy.
Check that off the bucket list-
Swimming in the Olympic Pool
I had heard rumors that the 2004 Olympic Stadium in Athens was pretty unguarded, so this week my friend and I decided to venture out to it. The metro station and complex were ghostly quiet and as we walked in we waved to the only security guard stationed at the front gate. The modern, white buildings looked untouched until you got up close and saw that the seats, floors and ceilings were falling apart.
We walked around for a while and then decided to check out the swimming pool. Compared to the rest of the complex, it was pristine, and there were still diving blocks and lane lines. Someone had told us that the pool was for members of a fitness club only, but there was no one around. It was hot and we stood next to the pool for a long time, waiting for someone to come stop us. But no one did. So, we had to test it!
