Hydra
The queens of the dock
This a street in Hydra
Lots of color
All the streets are marble worn smooth by time
No vehicles here...just feet and mules
Not even any bicycles
Bogenvillia were everywhere
These marble streets must get really slippery when it rains
More Hydra streets
And more stairs
Mules waiting to get loaded from the morning barge
Our anchorage in Hydra
Hydra harbor
All this built without any motorized vehicles
A picturesque place
A Hydra local with his morning coffee
The shoppers in Hydra
The taxi from the water taxi to the hotel
Mules going through the outside restaurant
Diving for my sunglasses
A shower on the stern
On the way to sunset drinks
Ready for a beautiful sunset
Smiling even before we had drinks
We have to get pictures of every Mermaid
We watched this sunset over drinks on Hydra
Morning light on a Hydra street

Lisa and Don at the highest point in Athens
Its some type of Yucca...30 feet tall
Part of the police crew who managed the crowd at the changing of the guard.
High stepping in their "skirts" on the way to changing of the guard.
I found Greece quite sophisticated
How can a menu get better than this?
No trip to Athens is complete without a trip to the Parthenon

Somebody needs a nose job...made me think of Phil Gardner....
Greece was really a great place if you are a bust guy!
Busting out
Busted up
A great trip!!
