Writing About Greece
One summer holiday me and my family went on a trip to Europe. We travelled to most parts of Europe, we stopped in France to see the Eiffel tower. My sister wanted to see the Colosseum so we travelled to Italy. We got to take some pictures of the Colosseum and get some souvenirs to take back. What I really wanted to see was the Parthenon in Athens of Greece. I begged my nena and she said that will be our last stop before we travel back home. I was super happy. The Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the goddess of Athena. I can’t believe I got to see the Temple up close and then take photos of it .
I enjoyed travelling around Europe not cause of the beautiful sites because I got to see the temple in Athens
