Views of The Parthenon up side streets which makes it a beautiful surprise. It still has scaffolding. It is still magnificent.
The click of worry brads. Remember to put the toilet paper in the bin, nod my head for no, say 'neh' for yes.
Metro stations have graves and artifacts from 5th century BC.
Added are hop/on-off buses, two different companies, with two lines, one for Athens and one for Pireas. Also a little train that goes around the city, also in Pireas.
Change booths in Monastiraki. McDonalds is gone from there. Plaza is finally open and covered with graffiti as the whole of the city. Like being inside a paint box.
Contemporary art dispersed among the ancient marble sculptures in the Archeology museum, the first one was bright red in a room of amphorae, quite a shock.
Went to watch the Oxi Day (Independence Day) parade, Syntagma square was blocked off with big police vans, that is the place I was told to go. I realized if I found a place to watch, I would miss the AA meeting and I was to meet a friend. So, off I walked-far.
Had lunch with his family in a Korean/Japanese restaurant and desert at a yogurt shop. Things have changed.
On the ferry to Paros, stopping at Syros which had two hills sparkling with lights, on one is an Orthodox Church, the other a Catholic one. Exciting, Paros is next.
