I am very happy for it to be in my possession.

Chandy awarded me, not one but 2 awards! How lucky can I be? I am 100% beautiful? Wow! That's hard to believe but this does not mean a pretty face but being beautiful inside and out. Thanks Chandy, just for you to think that I deserve this makes me really happy! I know everybody who visits me is beautiful and you all deserve this so please come and grab it.

And this Fabulous Blog Fan I know I definitely deserve, for I am truly a Blog fan! You can tell from how much I post in a week. LOL! Thanks again, Chandy!

Ok, let's go sightseeing now!

The week went by so quickly and it is Saturday again and you know what that means! But today is even more special for me because we get to go with someone else aside from me and enjoy her tour also. Chandy of http://whatnowtablescapes.blogspot.com/2009/03/boulder-of-ring.html

decided to join me. If anybody else wants to join in for Sightseeing Saturdays, we welcome you too. Just send me a comment if possible by Friday evening so I can add your link. So please visit Chandy and travel with her too. I don't know about you but I love traveling and would love to travel to different places with different tour guides.

Just as my title says, we are going to Athens in Greece. And you guessed it right! My little princess and granddaughter AJ, is traveling along with Tina, my daughter and Scott, my son in law. Let's visit the Acropolis, which in Greek literally means the highest point of the town and is also known as the "Sacred Rock of Athens". Isn't that a beautiful view? As the name indicates, Acropolis is high up on the mountain so you can pretty much see the city of Athens from there. Well, who do we have enjoying the view here but my lovely granddaughter!

AJ is with her aunt and her grandma here. One time, AJ asked how old I am. After I told her, she said I don't look old and I just look like I'm the same age as her mom. So, do you know now why I spoil that little girl? She knows just what to say at the right time. LOL!
The Parthenon, built in the 5th century BC, has 8 Doric columns on the east and west sides and 17 on the north and south sides. It is built entirely of marble except for the limestone foundations and ceilings and the wooden doors. It has stood atop the Acropolis for over 2500 years, built to give thanks to the city's patron goddess Athena, for saving them during the Persian wars. The size of the columns are amazing and it is beyond me how they could possibly have carried all that heavy material to the top of the mountain without the machinery that we have today, when I had a hard time climbing up the slippery steps without carrying anything. Go figure!

Even the cat is enjoying the amazing ruins and the scenery.
This is the Porch of Maidens in the Erechtheum Temple. These maiden statues are reproduction, 5 of the originals are in the Acropolis Museum of Athens and the 6th one is in the British Museum in London.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Acropolis and

a few other sites in Athens. Now, don't forget to visit Chandy and look at her great tour pictures also.

And now for Pink Saturday, which is hosted by Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/. I would like to show you how I can communicate with you even when I am away.It's through my tiny Sony Vaio laptop. It's pink and it's light, only 2 lbs so I can carry it easily in my purse when I am traveling. It's less than a foot long and 7.75 inches wide and less than an inch thin. DH bought it for me when we went to a Sony outlet mall in Illinois last Christmas.

Isn't it cute?

See how small it is compared to that Dell laptop? I even carry it to the kitchen sometimes.

Thanks for visiting! Let's all go to Beverly's site now and check out all the lovely pinks in Blogland.

Thanks, Beverly for hosting another fun event!
