Hey Dionysus! What Up Zeus!

The heat was really up there, but I didn't want it to affect our day in Athens... I also didn't want to drag and push Lianne everywhere. She had been here and seen these monuments already last year --- She's awesome (have I said this already?!)

I knew that I would come back later in the week by myself since I was comfortable with the metro so we stayed around in the Southern part of the Acropolis region and visited a couple more monuments:

The Theatre of Dionysus ----


Hadrian's Arch and the Temple of Zeus ----

I could tell Lianne was good with just sitting by the site so I went ahead and walked around it.  It was so peaceful and quiet... It was a good 10 minutes. Only a few columns are still up with two at the opposite end still erected.  One column has fallen like a stack of dominoes next to these two and although it's a shame that not much has survived, it is still a sight to see.
