It’s sad to say but graffiti is one of the first things to catch your eye when driving through Athens.
Our hotel is very close to the Acropolis so here’s my first view of it. Thursday we walk up there.
Our driver from the airport said Greece is a small country of 10 million and half live in Athens. I’m glad he was driving and not us.
Here I am enjoying a cup of mint tea at a local shop.
A final note. We almost had a mishap with luggage. Dan’s didn’t show up on conveyor belt. We went to report it knowing that it was on the plane based on my Air Canada app. The agent came back with us to belt and spied one blue suitcase, not Dan’s. Then another which had been placed with Viking tour luggage. It was his. Relief!
Off to Orientation then dinner with Roads Scholar group.
That view, oh my! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is everywhere. I am not a fan.
Welcome to Greece, can’t wait to see the next day!
ReplyDelete...I'm a graffiti fan in the right places,
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is a scourge in most major European cities, unfortunately. We are not immune in North America, either.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a bit out of control.
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is usually the first thing I notice in European cities. To me it is just vandalism. Great view from your hotel. Look forward to reading more of your Greek posts.
