Athens: Temple of Zeus

Now we're at the Temple of Zeus.  It took over 600 years to build (building was on-again, off-again), and again, Hadrian was the one who finally got-er-dun.  What remains today is 15 of the original 104 columns, and they are huge.  I can't imagine the scale of the whole building.  Sunset was on the way, which made for some nice lighting.  The Temple is also surrounded by a large open park plus some other smaller ruins under the tree-lined edges.  It was pleasant and quiet (and free to enter, if you showed your tickets from the Acropolis!).

Hannah thinking that this would make a nice-sized Barbie palace just for her. No boys allowed...except her father.
