5/9-Spent, yesterday in Athens, where we took a tour through the city and then up to the Acropolis and the Parthenon. It's hard to comprehend what it must have been like some 2500 years ago to construct such a building, which is 228 feet long, 101 feet wide and a total height of 66 feet. Quite impressive! Today we are enroute to Istanbul, cruising now through the Dardanelles Strait, which is the only passage between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Tonight we plan to walk into town to the spice market, then tomorrow we have an all-day tour planned. We continue to be blessed with good weather.
