Watching some waterskiing action from our balcony
This kid was thoroughly amused with kicking a coke bottle...that amused me.

I do the happy lunch dance

Strike a pose!
From the Temple of Poseidon -- this is the port of call Greek sailors would come to after finding the Temple, which served as a beacon
From the outdoor cafe at Cape Sunion
Saying goodbye to the Temple of Poseidon
Random countryside
Unfinished building -- there are a lot of these in Greece. Poor planning is the culprit
Greek graffiti
This was supposed to be a picture of the hotsprings off the side of the road.
In Athens, a view of the Acropolis from down below
This old lady tried to sell me a tablecloth. Her sisters roaming around town also tried to sell me tablecloths. Needless to say, I came back with no tablecloths
View of the street stores in ancient Athens
Mopeds...Greeks love 'em
This was something significant I saw from my guided tour...Not significant enough for me to remember
Yet something else significant I can't remember
My trolley train.
I took this picture because the guide said it was a neighborhood full of great restaurants, and I didn't want to forget the name of it.
More relatively insignificant old stuff
View of the Acropolis
The Tower of Winds
The Ancient Agoura
Me at the Tower of Winds (self-portrait)
I believe that is the Acropolis behind me (self-portrait)
Apparently Greek teens think that they are part of "La Eme" -- G13 Holmes!
More street markets
Me pensive at the street market
The Unknown Soldier Memorial
Me at The Unknown Soldier Memorial
The pigeons have assembled and are ready for battle
This is me trying to mimic the busts of the statues to my left...but it didn't come out too well
That's the Acropolis behind me
At the ancient Olympic Garden
View from the ancient Olympic Garden
Look at how the column landed...amazing!
This is the new Olympic Stadium (where they just lit the torch that everyone is trying to extinguish)
Me and Greece's version of a beefeater. He didn't seem to mind me.
This is the king's palace - or was - back when Greece had a king
Faral cat. Greece is loaded with feral cats and dogs.

Andrea checking her Crackberry on Hydra
This guy looks like a Sopranos extra from central casting -- but I took this picture because he was twirling his Kombolói, or worry beads.
Giant yachts on Hydra
Sad but funny graffiti on a cannon in Hydra. Who's my Peloponnesian?
This is a crazy, drugged out woman I was sitting across from on the boat
Yup, she's still tweaking
Still crazy after all of these years.
Me acting at the Theatre of Dionysius
A view up the wall of the Acropolis

The canal at Corinth
Andrea at the canal at Corinth
Signage at the Canal
Hey look! You can bungee jump the canal
Another unfinished building
This reminded me of the Christmas Story -- I think it's from FRAGILE
This adorned the roof of a souvenir store we visited
The Temple of Apollo in Old Corinth
Headless statues. They would not let me pose with my head tucked in my shirt next to these statues...killjoys
This was a mosaic of a panflute player -- I call him Zamfir's muse
More from Old Corinth -- this is where St. Paul spoke to the people (you bible lovers might like to know this is where Corinthians comes from)
This is AcroCorinth (the high Corinth)
More ruins from Corinth
Andrea posing down
Andrea found a million dollar bill (on it, it read that only through Christ's salvation could she realize such riches) -- Old Corinth is apparently a haven for bible thumpers
The Temple of Apollo
Me getting artistic with the Temple of Apollo
Old Corinth is still an active archaeological site. These are archaeologists
This is Peter, our tour guide, with Andrea in front of our chariot.
