Ferrying to Athens, Greece
Our little ferry made a ton
of stops from Amorgos to Athens. Here we are pulling into Paros.

View of Paros for Paris, Robijn's
colleague who helped us
set up the trip (he's a native
Athenian who's building a house there).

We finally arrived at Naxos,
where we ate at this taverna
before catching a high-speed
ferry back to Athens.

The Parthenon (Temple of Athena,
goddess of wisdom, work and the arts)
on the Acropolis, Athens,
under scaffolding
Athens looks like Rio de Janeiro
or Los Angeles, a big modern sprawling city
with the sea in front of it
and mountains behind.

the modern office buildings of downtown Athens
(taken from our hotel balcony).
An honor guard was marching
up the street to the Greek Parliament Building
in connection with a visit
by the president of Kazakstan.
The Kazakstan President was
staying in our hotel and had a whole squadron of security cars parked right
underneath our room.
