Steve got up early to see the Acropolis and I slept in. Then we saw Keramikos, this cemetary area contained two major gates to Athens and was named after the ceramics workshops that were nearby. We saw some pretty cool grave markers.

Here's a picture I took of a nearby church. The flowers were growing down the middle of the Keramikos, above ditch that contained the river as it entered the city.

Then, we went to the Ancient Agora. This was my second time. Machelle and I hadn't missed much the first time.

That night, we took the Metro to the Evangelismos and went up Likavittos Hill on the funicular. We saw Athens lit up. It's a huge sprawling mess. We watched bats chase moths in the bright lights. When the bats swooped in chasing the moths, we ducked. I saw one moth that dodged a bat only to get caught two seconds later by another one.
