National Archaeologial Museum

the Minoean civilization came first, the the Mycenaen, then the ancient Athenians. Sparta was basically a military town Anything else you want to now you get to look it up yourself. The museum was well worth the 7 Euros they charged.
what i want to now is what sort of force it takes to knock over really large buildings made of marble. Athens was Destroyed more than once, which is why they have so much marble lieing around they are not sure where it goes. if they know where it goes it seems to have a number on it.

then I went of a walk to the top of one of the other hills in town , that has a little chapel.Called St George, it was a steep climb and i am in better shape that I thought. a great view of town to say nothing of looking down on Acropolis hill. there is still large volumes of industrial Europe particulate in the air to prevent a clear view.
since i was walking quite a distance I had to pass some shops. and added more stuff to my pack.

Yesterday I had a lazy day due th the problem of walking to far the day before, pulled muscles in both calves and the front of my thigh as well. I found good book. Everything around here is the way of tourists is quiet, someone said they had a friend out on Santorini who was the only person in the hotel that was not a employee.
