Athens2

Here rethink the poppies that seemed to get missed, all very appropriate for the time.

The view of the Parthenon is amazing from our rooftop, I may have the best view in Athens.

Here it was closer up

The Parthenon from half way up the hill. There is an amazing amount of story on this hill. It is where Paul preached to the Athenians. It is all being rrestored, currently under construction. 

Tonight is the night of holy Thursday,  tomorrow is good Friday here and Christianity is very apparent. Tomorrow there is a huge procession in the streets commemorating laying Jesus in the tomb. We will be off to the islands so will miss this in Athens,  but in the islands it is bigger as it includes a procession on the water.  It is positively balmy now having warmed up to 11 degrees, and the snow has gone.
