The wonders of ancient Athens! We visited Hadrian’s Library and then headed to the Agora, the center of public life. We checked out the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos, which is now a museum. Then we hiked over to the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the most well-preserved temples. After a fortifying lunch with dolmades, moussaka, and broad beans, we headed to the Acropolis Museum to see beautiful statues and carvings. (Well, the ones the British didn’t steal, anyway…) Then it was time to climb the hill!
The Acropolis! We entered via the South entrance near the museum to avoid the crowds. I was particularly excited to see the Theatre of Dionysus. 🎭 As we finally neared the top, the sky began to look ominous. It made for some very dramatic shots of the architecture! I felt incredibly fortunate to get to see one of the greatest achievements of mankind. And then, of course, the heavens opened and we (along with everybody else) got soaked. 🌧️😂 Ah well…

😡 One way to look at it is our train broke down and we had to pay €100 in wasted tickets and taxi fare to get to the airport.
😎But another way to look at it is we only paid €100 for a 160kmph/100mph joyride down the Autobahn! 🏎️💨
Made it! Time to visit a brand new country for both of us… 🇬🇷 ✈️
Athens! The Parthenon! I have now eaten the Platonic ideal (literally) of tzatziki. Still drooling. Had some fun Greek craft beers too. ❤️🇬🇷

I had a wonderful time today catching up with old friends and new at the AWS Community Day DACH. @hoegertn even made me a special plaque as an honorary member of the Förderverein (Booster Club), which was awarded onstage by @osterjour! 😭❤️🇩🇪 Great job to all the organisers, volunteers, and speakers at the event today.

A rather grey, cold, and rainy day in Munich. We decided to check out the inside of Nymphenburg Palace to see where our pal Ludwig II was born. Then we had a very hearty and warming lunch at the palace cafe. We were delighted to pick up a copy of Miroslav Šašek’s book “München” with its charming 60’s illustrations of Bavaria! ❤️
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
