EUR07: THIS! IS! SPARTAAA!

To quote my journal for the day:

“6am: Only a peach for breakfast, which is a shame because TONIGHT I DINE IN HELL!!!”

I DID INDEED GO TO SPARTA TODAY, AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT.

THE ANCIENT ACROPOLIS IS QUITE SOMETHING.

AND UNLIKE THE ONE IN ATHENS, I WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE THERE TODAY.

I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT CLIMB THROUGH A HOLE IN THE FENCE TO SEE SOME OF THE RUINS FROM UP CLOSE.

THERE ARE EVEN RUINS OF AN OLD THEATRE THAT SEEM TO BE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING EXCAVATED.

THEN THIS EVENING I WALKED AROUND THE (ATHENIAN) ACROPOLIS AFTER SUNSET, AND ATE A VERY INEXPENSIVE GYRO ON THE GO.

IT WAS DELICIOUS.

OH, AND YESTERDAY I WAS AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN ATHENS. I SPENT FIVE HOURS THERE… IT IS INCREDIBLY FASCINATING.

IF YOU WILL NOW EXCUSE ME, I MUST FIND SOME PERSIANS SO THAT I MAY GIVE THEM NOTHING, AND TAKE FROM THEM… EVERYTHING!!!
