I learned so much from your storytelling. I really like when a travel layout has this. You chose the perfect background paper for this. Super job. PS Keep the layouts coming of this trip. I have really enjoyed them.

I like that you include historical information on your journaling. Great job matching pp and die cuts. The Postcard bg is perfect.

This is my favorite temple too - I was in awe looking at it! I learned so much from your journaling. I didn't realize the originals were in the museum. I don't know how I didn't know that - most of the statues in these ruins around Greece are replicas, with the originals in a musesum, often on near or on the same site. Didn't know the 6th was stolen. I sure hope Greece gets it back. It would mean a lot more to the people of Greece.

Love the die cut (design matches that one pp) and the soft colors!

My favorite temple at the Acropolis is the Erechtheion,
also known as the Temple of Athena Polias. The temple
has two porches-which is unusual for Greek architecture.
The northwest corner of the temple is supported by six
Ionic columns while the southwest corner is supported
by six female statues known as the Caryatids. The
Caryatids have become the temples signature feature,
as they seem to casually support the weight of the
porchs roof on their heads. The Caryatids currently
at the Erechtheion are replicas. Five of the original
statues are housed in the Acropolis Museum to protect
them from the elements. The sixth Caryatid was stolen
in 1802 by Thomas Bruce, Great Britains ambassador.
She is currently in a British museum. The Acropolis
Museum has left a space for the sixth Caryatid in hopes
that one day the sisters will be reunited.
