Greek Food!

When traveling to Greece there is not doubt that you will eat some wonderful food and fresh seafood. In Greece it is law for the restaurant to have the menu and prices posted on the outside of the building so that customers can browse the menu before stepping into the restaurant. There is usually a waiter standing outside trying to entice you to enter. Many times Greeks ignore the menu and order custom orders  and order much more than they can eat. With every meal, you always get a Greek salad and Fresh seafood is very popular. Most Greeks don't eat until 10:00pm and it can last until late into the evening! 


Greek salad usually consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, green pepper, feta cheese, and kalamata olives. It can usually be eaten as a main dish or side dish.

Athens, Greece!

Athens has always been on my places to go. The people are friendly and warm! Its the heart and soul of western civilization. In Athens you can find the Parthenon. A historical building that has influence many other buildings. There isn't much known about this building. It is known that the Parthenon was dedicated to Athena. The building itself is made out of limestone and the columns were made from Pentelic marble. The main purpose of this building was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made out of gold and silver. This building was built in 447-432 BCE
