Nice buffet breakfast at the hotel then we took taxi to
the National Archeological Museum, which was interesting particularly for the
progression of Ancient Greek sculpture.
We wound up at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier around noon, which gave us
the opportunity to watch the changing of the guard. Then we wound our way
through The National Gardens and the Temple of Zeus. We entered the Acropolis
Museum hungry, so by the time we made it to the cafeteria on the second floor
we were ready for lunch. Then some shopping and a long walk back to the
Intercontinental Hotel.
Some observations on Athens: lots of smokers; streets are
confusing; pedestrian signs are merely suggestions; impressive amount of
graffiti; we have not improved the sandal in 2400 years.
