Next up, on our Honeymoon tour: Athens, Greece!
Missed Stop 1? Venice
Fun facts about Athens:
- Athens is the largest city & capital of Greece
- It’s one of the world’s oldest cities
- Population: approximately 3,932,756
- First modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896
- Birthplace of many prominent writers, philosophers, politicians and scientists of the ancient world, including Sophocles, Socrates and Pericles.
And it’s smokin’ hot! 
It reached a high of 38 degrees Celsius the day we were there. Eric and I were sweating buckets while climbing the Acropolis and Filopappos hill. We finally reached the top of the Acropolis and discovered there was no water to be found, just a lot of thirsty tourists! If you ever find yourself climbing this, bring more than 1 bottle of water… ;)
There are about 150,000 stray dogs living on the streets in Athens. I wanted to take all of them home…
After our climbs, we headed to the Plaka shopping area where there are a lot of tourist/market type shops and high end shopping too.

I love loose tea!
Is there ever such a thing as too much tea? Can questions be considered rhetorical, when their answers are blatantly obvious? Also, you are very much responsible for getting me hooked on a vegan diet! Thank ya for your dedication and generosity! It’s amazing how that initial change in diet can completely veer you onto a fuller healthy, vibrant lifestyle.
Those tea photos look awesome! I’ve been meaning to try some loose teas with my French Press…
Greece! Someday I need to be there, lovely photos.
