Day 9: Temple of Poseidon
On the final full day of the trip, we went to Cape Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon. Before we went to the Temple, we went to the Plaka District of Athens to shop and eat. We tried to make it to the Parliament Building in time for the changing of the guard, but we just missed it. We did, however, get to take pictures with the interestingly-clothed guard...the "puffy" shoes are actually hiding a knife!
A perfect pair of authentic Greek sandals!
Crystal-clear water on the way to the Temple...
Lord Byron's name is carved into the side of the Temple. He used to come here to sit and watch the sunset, an experience he deemed highly inspiring...
Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
-Lord Byron

There's things that aren't worth giving up, I know...
You live the life you're given with the storms outside
Somedays all I do is watch the sky,
Today was a good day...
