My First Greek Island!

Hola! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was great - I went to Aegina, which is the island closest to Athens. My friend Jessica came with me and we ended up staying overnight so that we'd be able to go to the Temple of Aphaia in the morning. I'm really glad we stayed, it was definitely worth the 30 euro for a room (only 15 each, not bad!) I can only put up a few pics now because they're taking forever to upload, but hopefully I can put up some more later.

It took about an hour and a half by ferry

The seaside town is so picturesque!

The weather was beautiful, perfect for walking along the ocean.

Me posing in front of the Temple of Aphaia (once mistakenly thought to be a temple to Athena). The story goes that the nymph Apha fled to Aegina to escape King Minos' unwanted advances. She turned invisible so she could hide - hence 'Aphaia' , ancient Greek for invisible.

That's all for now! Hope you all enjoyed the pics.
Love,
Marilyn
