Walking the streets in Greece. Beautiful shopping walkway near corinth(not too many of those in Greece because it is a very dry area) with many bouganvillas.
This is the archway to a city on a hill near Corinth (as in the Corinthians--who Paul preached to). Notice the lions (missing the heads) above the doorway. This location is mentioned in Homer's Iliad and Odessey.
Theater where one of the first known surgeons would operate in front of an audience. The acoustics were amazing. One could stand in the middle of the circle below and speak at regular speaking levels and be heard at the very top.
Grrrr. Sassy anyone.
Beaching at the Island of Mykonos. When we booked the trip we did not know that the island was a very "gay friendly" island. Also, we did not know that swim suits were optional.
Temple of Zeus in Athens. How in the world did they get these enormous columns standing up way back in the day?!
We wanted to get a good shot of the parthenon, but this lovely couple got right in front of the shot and ruined in for us. The nerve.
View of Athens from the top of the Acropolis.
Paying homage to the Korai (the women in the background bearing the weight of the building).
In front of Parliament in Athens. The guard put on a great show. Quite silly really.
Olympic village Athens. Too bad that they have kind of let it go.
