Walking Around in Athens - 6/16/05 (Day 2)

Walking from our hotel towards Plaka, the old quarter of Athens

Still walking

Two important things here: Mercedes taxis and motorcycle drivers from hell

A church from some where between 1000 AD and 1500 AD (I can't remember)

One of the less-pretty cafes near Plaka

Still walking (oh ya, Acropolis on the hill)

That's me walking and looking at some weird euro stuff in a window

Notice the "Anti-Nazi" sign.  As Eric said, "Way to take a stand."

Even the Greek know... FAT IS WHACK

View of the square across from our hotel (Omonia Sqaure)

Jayme before I led her and a bunch of other people on a wild goose chase to the internet cafe... street signs are easier to read when they're in English

On the way to the Intertnet Cafe, "Mocafe"

Tom getting a drink at a kiosk.  These are every 50 yards in Athens and they have everything from snacks, to gum, to drinks, to magazines, to phone cards, and everything in between

Your faithful webmaster, me, updating the site... also, family: notice my computer background?  It's our family pic from the Birmingham trip
