In Athens






We took a walk this morning (Thurs.) in central Athens.  The building above (top) is the Greek Parliament, and the square in front of it has been the site of various demonstrations.  (Depending on the outcome of the general elections to be held here this Sunday, June 17, there could be more tensions...)  In the second photo, one of the two men pictured is an official, ceremonial guard on duty outside Parliament.  The third picture is of the ubiquitous Athenian Leaf ceramic figure at the edge of almost every tile roof.  Next is Mars Hill from below (the site of Paul's speech recorded in Acts 17:16-34.  And finally we have a classic Greek Salad with the standard (large) block of feta cheese atop.
