Parthenon/Parthenoff

Yesterday we took the bus and the metro to downtown Athens where we ventured to the acropolis to see the Parthenon. The climb and stairs were no where near as bad as the trip to Delphi or maybe I'm finally getting used to all the walking, or maybe it was because yesterday I was a Spartan warrior. They had helmets in the flea markets but they were super expensive, I really wanted one (p.s. my birthday is tomorrow hint hint.) ANYWAYS the Parthenon was pretty cool, even with all the construction they're doing on it, even with all the people walking about making it difficult to get a good shot of the site and then people pushing and shoving to get their own pictures. People can be so rude, there was a guy in a wheelchair trying to take a picture of the Erectethon (spelling?) and everyone kept walking right in front of him. I was the only one to stop to let him take a picture, and when he got the chance to get his picture he smiled and me and said thanks. That made me feel good, but all those other people pissed me off that they couldn't take a second to stop and notice someone else trying to get a picture because they were too concerned with their own agendas. Something else I learned yesterday was that the Parthenon was erected in honor of Athena. I didn't know that before yesterday.
