My trip to the acropolis

During my summer vacation, I visited Athens and saw the Acropolis - the one historical site you can't miss .
The Parthenon and other main buildings on the Acropolis were built by Pericles in the fifth century BC .



It was very hot and there were tourists every where and the guides were speaking rapidly in englesh , spanish, french , chinese ,hindi , dutch , turkish , german etc. .

While we were there we saw archioligists in action it was amazing !

We had to climb 200 slippery steps all made of marble to get there . The whole area is made from marble!






it was really cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









......So if you are ever in Athens, don't forget to see the Acropolis!!!!!
