Today, we went up Athens' highest point, Lycabettus
Hill. Some of us took the cable car, and some of us ran up. The view from up
there was great! You could even see the ocean. There is a Greek myth about
Lycabettus Hill. The Goddess Athena was carrying rocks to help people build the
Parthenon. Athena was flying over Athens with a big rock when she heard that a
treasured basket that she had entrusted to others was opened without her
permission. She was so upset that she dropped the rock, and this created
Lycabettus Hill.
After coming back down, we ate lunch, explored the
local fish and meat market, and then we went to the cooking class. There, we
made spinach pie, mosaic cake, and tzatziki sauce. We also ate other things
that the teacher prepared in advance. We went back to the hotel after eating
our creations and watched the sun set from the 8th floor of our hotel. (Post by Alex)
