My friend and I are on another adventure. We started out by stopping in Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The first picture is of me waiting for our next flight in the Crown Lounge which was.....!!! super cool !!! And after we visited the lounge we walked right into a huge and fancy airport; woah. It would take me forever to walk through here on my own! It was a little over whelming! I'm so thankful for my trusty running friend.
In this picture, you can see me in Greece. I am in front of a temple called the parthenon. It was built for the Goddess Athena and is also one of the most famous surviving buildings. It is over 2,000 years old. I think it was really cool to look at in person after seeing it in so many pictures and post cards.
Next, my friend and I went to run the Athens marathon. This is the home of the first marathon ever. Along time ago, the Greeks defeated the invading Persian army. Yay, Greece. The Greek soldiers sent a guy named Pheidippides to run from the battle field, in Marathon, all the way to Athens to let everyone know that they had victory. It is said as soon as he said "niki" which means victory, he died. This marathon commemorates, Pheidippides, the first marathon runner. Avtìo!
