And now for something different

All the museum stuff can dry and overwhelming, so here's a little more color:

View from Hotel Napflion at sunrise this morning (10:15pm Oly time)

Elementary school across the street from hotel roof

Elementary school roof

View from the top of the Palamidi Fortress

Ocean view from Palamidi Fortress

Yet another stairway leading to nowhere

Chains to keep us out of one of the bastions under renovation

Just to get an idea of how far we were form the ground.  That's Ian down there (I think)

Intrusive lamps for your nighttime viewing pleasure

I don't know what kind of plants these things were, but they were awesome!
A grain of some kind?

More flowers

A family of dogs lives up at the Mycenean site we visited and they just had puppies!

As soon as it's feasible, I'm getting a dog when I get back home.


Overall today was good.  Visited a few sites.  Been taking some down time at the hotel until going to a wine tasting in half an hour.  And tomorrow, I visit Olympia! (Greece, not WA)
