Traveling Alpaca - Live at the Acropolis!


Way better than Yanni. That freak show.

Traveling Alpaca went to Greece, starting off in Athens (http://www.greece-athens.com/) with a side trip to the ruins at Delphi (http://www.greecetravel.com/delphi/), then out to the islands (Mykonos, Paros and Santorini). The Alpaca was surprised to learn that there was more of Greece at the British Museum in London than there was... in Greece. Lord Elgin's Marbles are still a point of contention between the Greek and British governments, with neither side budging (http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/goto?id=enc852). Still, the Alpaca made good use of his time, seeing the remains of famous Greek buildings in and around the Plaka (city center) and eating eggplant to his heart's content.
