Day 16 - Mars Hill, Athens





Mark was so excited to see and climb Mars Hill. This is the rocky hill where Paul, the Apostle preached to the Athenians. There was a dad reading the verses in Acts to his family. Paul didn't have much success there. But it was a beautiful hill right above the city and looked down on the Agora. I haven't been to Israel or other Bible sites, so this was a real treat. It felt like a reverent place even though there were lots of people walking around.
