Athens was named after Athena, the goddess of knowledge. The legends say that Athena was in a competition with Poseidon who was the god of the sea. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident to create water, the only problem was that salt water came out. Athena made the "sacred olive trees". That is also the legend of how olive trees were made. It took place on Athens Acropolis. Athena clearly won. So there you have it, why Athens is named Athens supposedly. The Acropolis was cool. Acropolis means "hill top". The Parthenon is on top of the Acropolis with other ruins and temples. We also went to a place that serves local Greek food for dinner.

Santorini is a City-Mega-Volcano, it is said to have the most Beautiful sunsets ever. It was too cloudy, though. My favorite part of Santorini that I liked best was the trip to the crater of the valcano.
Saw some lizards,
in a towel toga (ancient Greek fashion called a toga) on the ship heading back to land after swimming in the not so hot springs,
bet I can last longer than you in this cold water!
Coal in the crater.We actually stayed on a volcano on Santorini, it is a mega volcano itself! Santorini is a island volcano!
Sorry but thats all the time I have i will see you later!
