This and that...around Athens

Street scene, at a market stall in Thissio area of town.  Graffiti is everywhere. 

By day, the view of the Acropolis, from a bus in Monastiraki 

Same view, by night of the Acropolis. I was on foot when I took this. Amazing eh??

Me, on the wonderful deck of our apartment. It's a wrap around deck and at one end is the Greek flag. Max tells us the left abhors the use of the flag -- but here I am, poster girl.

Our apartment in a salubrious area of Athens called Kolonaki.  This 8 storey bldg has these wonderful late 50s or 60s suits.  Champagne-coloured nearly shag carpet everywhere. A breakfast bar, above.  I suppose the furniture is 60s. Here's larry on the couch in the living room. The little table near him is attached to the couch. And there is a smoked glass coffee table. Perfect.

At the Carrefour grocery store near our apartment. Industrial sized containers of excellent yogurt, for 2 Euros.

Another residence. In shelter area of Kolonaki Park-- coffee bars around here are Gucci like. A cappuccino costs 3.50 Euros. Anywhere else in town it's 1.50. 

12 year old Spanish (I heard the mother speak to her) schoolgirl playing a muted game on her iPad.  She was playing her game while we were watching a good film about how antiquities are restored, in the new Acropolis Museum. A must see.
