Beth says she's jealous as hell and she'll marry you if you will take her there!
Sorry, but could you look anymore like an American tourist with that outfit?
When I travel abroad, I tell people I'm from Texas. And then admit it's pretty wonderful to travel without worrying about the horses.
You may not believe it, but I intentionally wore those clothes that day to look like a stereotypical tourist!
No matter what, I was going to look American--the Europeans dress differently than we do, they just do. But I went full-on tourist there in Olympia, it was the only day I wore that shirt. Kinda gaudy, isn't it?!!!
And Mike, Beth's a feisty one--I doubt I could handle her!
It's just as I remembered it when I was there last except for the funny dressed dude in front of the steps..:)
Nashville has a full sized copy of the acropolis. In an un-ruined state. With an Athena statue inside. The color is wrong, but other than that ...
For the next time you're in Nashville ...
