It's the little things that charm you...

 string ...

 scissor graffiti outside dressmakers
 sea sponges

spice shop
 is this cinnamon?

buying wine by the kilo




both in their element: nick in a market (looking not cooking), tom on his scooter
general scooting on the paved streets

just around the corner in Athens...

Railway station square near our hotel






































churches ...
Kasia, via email:
There are even more [churches] in Athens!
Under skyscrapers, next to stations, apartment blocks, railways - like pubs in ancient Melbourne. Every block seems to have one!























Parthenon (another church!) sneaking into view

history ... archaeological digs
ancient cemetery





































and poet sandal-makers



other cool places to hang out ...

Nick & Tom, giant magnolia tree and Hadrian's Arch just glimpsed at end of the street‏

Who is this with [a] Greek obwaszanki?‏

No doubt related to this person wearing obwaszanki necklace‏



What to do if you happen to be at the cafe of the archaeological museum: Baclava and nescafe frappe
