Back to photo listing Shortly after arriving in Athens we found a hotel. A weary Q sorts out his stuff. A far off view of the acropolis from the site of the temple to Zeus. Myself standing near the temple to Zeus with the acropolis in the distant background. (Photo credit: Daniel Perez) One of the parliamentary guards. Unmoving and subject to much attention like the Royal guards in London. The Parliament building was prepped for the parade and the festivities that would take place the next day. Why anyone would voluntarily allow pigeons on themselves is beyond me. Especially urban pigeons. Those same pigeons all chase after Sissi, Pablo and Daniel after some altercation. Beautiful orange trees line some of the nicer streets. These palm trees resided in the courtyard in front of a museum that unfortunately was closed when we arrived. Sissi, Daniel and Pablo consult the map of the city to find our next destination.
