MORNING - Tour of the Acropolis (Athens)

It was a steep climb to the Acropolis and we were rewarded with stunning views of the city and the majesty of the most impressive Parthenon.  There is a lot of archeological work being done to restore sections of the marble that have been destroyed or restored poorly over time.  I learned that the Parthenon was the first democratically completed building in history.  The slave and free workers were paid the same wages. Just recently archeologists have discovered fingerprints in red that the ancient works "tagged" throughout the Acropolis.
