Leaving Athens, Greece?!?

Mariella and I arrived here in Athens early Monday and went out to see part of the city. The weather was beautiful and the sites from a distance were amazing but there are a lot of problems here right now. There have been many problems with the government and the people but the weekend before we arrived a 15 year old was killed by police and now we have riots. Things are getting worse so we are leaving tomorrow with a rental car and going inland. We had planned to go into mainland Greece for 2 days and now we will have 5 days to explore so maybe it will be better in the end?!? If nothing else it has been a new and very different experience for both of us.

I am going to post one of our pictures from our 2 days here in Athens because the city has so much history and the archeological sites are really beautiful.
