Still more of Acropolis

Arrived in port at 5am. We left the ship at 8am for a tour of Ancient Athens and the Acropolis. We walked around the ruins of the Acropolis, which is just the name of the hill.  The ruins were all temples dedicated to pagan Gods, and government houses and it was fantastic. We saw Mars Hill where Paul taught. We walked around the many ruins and took several pictures. Then rode back to the ship and ate at Jonny Rockets.  Can you believe it? All you can eat of the best Onion Rings for a nominal fee.  The apple pie alamode was fantastic and was included in the cover charge.
