The Acropolis Museum opened its gates a few months ago, and I finally visited it a nice sunny day. The building is sleek and modern, with lots of natural light. I couldn't take any photos of the ancient artifacts and statues, but I can honestly say that there are some pretty amazing and awe-inspiring things inside. Instead, I took photos of the view from the terrace. 
After visiting the gift shop (more on that later!), we took a walk around Plaka, the area around the Acropolis. It was quite early so it wasn't crowded, which made for a nice change!
I guess it's true what they say, the best things in life are free!
Gladiator heaven!
Colourful summer dresses and scarves in the shops.
Yummy ice-cream! Love the blue one!

What's in the blue ice cream? It looks like sprinkles, but I can't be sure. Also, you have no idea how jealous I am that you live in Greece. I keep meaning to mention that, but always forget.
This is my jealous hat that I'm wearing while you're looking at the Acropolis. :3

I saw a great television program on the Parthenon and it's restoration just this last week. How amazing to be able to visit all of these incredible monuments and museums.♥
