Athens

I spent a few nights in Athens after the 2004 Olympic games. The atmosphere was great and everybody was friendly. In fact the Special Olympics were going on. The food was great; I love the bell peppers with rice and gyros, and there is plenty of history. The air is very dry and the buildings are white or light colored. Below is a view looking up at the Acropolis.

Dogs like this were lying everywhere in Athens. I heard that there were more before the Olympics.
