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.

OH my God, those look SO good!
We are absolutely OBSESSED with tea. We never leave the house without it in the morning. My silly goosey roommate aka. the love of my life -also the one who introduced me to this blog!- rubbed her tea-drinking frenzie off on me, and I’ve been hooked since :)
You make me want to jump on a plane and head to Greece right now! I’m glad you’re having a wonderful time :) And thanks for the giveaway too – I’d love to try the banana bread flavor especially!

Trying to kick the coffee habit (formal +6 cups/day girl). Having lots of tea at home would be perfect!

Banana Bread tea? I’m a fan already. I’d love it as an afternoon treat while working!
