Alice's Blog about Greece:

August 7, 2010

I went up a long path to the Acropolis in Athens. It was super hot. I saw the Athena Temple. It was right over us when we walked up the steps to the Acropolis. It was big city where they prayed a lot. Inside the Athena Temple, there is a really tall, really big statue of Athena, but I didn't see it because the temple was broken down a little.

I took a picture of the Acropolis on the cover of a book, then I took a picture of the real Acropolis.

We went to the Epidavaros Theater. I climbed to the top of the steps. It was very hot and hard and super tall too. If you dropped a coin down at the bottom, you could hear it all the way at the top.

I went to the island of Paros with Isaac, Theo, Max, Tina, and Bruce, Mommy, Daddy, Boom Boom, Griffin. We went to a beautiful beach with lots of rocks that I could climb on. I climbed up and had a beautiful view of the ocean. It was very fun and I jumped in from the rocks. The hike up the mountain was very fun but there was lots of mountain goat poop along the way. We went down to a small cave where there were piles and piles of dry goat poop. Griffin picked one up and said it was super dry but it was the stinkiest stink bomb in the world. We saw another little pile of rocks that was very tall and had a great view of the ocean. I climbed there and ran and jumped and played on the rocks. We tried to see who could get to the rocks first. I won. Mommy and Daddy said I was a mountain goat. I got up to the top. It was a super good view. I saw all the boats and the blue sky. Isaac said "This is a really good view. I wish I was down there at the water though, this is super hot" Then I went to ask my Dad for some water.

The island in Paros, we had a humongous water park. It was super big and I went on the slides. They made the slides scary but they really weren't. It wasn't so fun sliding down the inside of them because I told you they look scary but they really aren't scary. You go super slow and you have to push with your arms and legs to go fast. I saw a black slide but I didn't go on it. It goes into the ocean. I was too scared and Mommy tried to make me but I said "No!"

I liked to pet the horse. I saw a baby cat that was only two months old. It was so small that when it walked, it wobbled a little. I rode the horse last, of all the cousins. It was very fun to bounce up and down on the horse and hug it.
