Dear Diary,I am sad that my trip is over

but I loved getting to see Greece, it was so amazing! The only place I didn’t get to visit was the pottery workshop and a museum of sculptures. I heard that they make lots of vases out of the clay, and there is this really awesome sculpture of Zeus the thunder god in the museum. It is just so astonishing and makes you wonder how they built it!
