History Brings Europe to Life
We are studying in The Story of The World and we are in ancient civilizations. Currently we are studying Greece. Every since I was a child Greece has called to me. I even wrote my own original myth in 8th grade. I was fascinated by the tales of the gods and their petty behavior. When I was in college, a girl with strong Greek heritage lived down the hall from me. She was fascinating and she went on to marry a good Greek husband. One day I hope to visit Greece. I could visit the Parthenon, the temple of Olympus, and the Acropolis. I could imagine where the Athenians met at the Forum to discuss the matters of the day and vote in the first democracy of the world.
I am sure there are fine Athens Hotels to lodge in while I step back in time and enjoy the mysteries of Greece. Once I leave the Athens area, I will tour the islands, visit more historical sites and enjoy walking the ground that Jason, Hercules and Odysseus once called home. There will never be a problem with finding reasonably priced Greece hotels during my travels.
Did you know that Prague is the most visited city in Europe and said to be the most beautiful? My husband recently told me that. If I am going to go to Europe, surely I should be able to swing by Prague too. One thing I learned when we were in Paris is that it is relatively easy and quick to visit several countries at once. We could pick a historical Prague Hotel to stay in while we took in the sights. We could visit Old Town Square, Prague Castle, and Wenceslas Square while we were there, just to name a few must-see places. I love castles!
Before heading home to America, I think we would take a swing by Amsterdam. Another place that I have heard a lot about and would like to visit someday. The long history of Amsterdam has resulted in a city that is today one of the most beautiful, welcoming and relaxed in the world. I would find an Amsterdam Hotel to rest my aching feet from all of the walking I have been doing. I could enjoy some luxurious amenities, eat some yummy food and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
