The Parthenon from her good side
Athens

The Greek government is in the process of putting the Propylaia, Erechtheion, and Parthenon back together again to some where near their original condition. It's quite the jigsaw puzzle, pieces everywhere.

The tower of Agios Georgios
Athens

This picturesque church sits atop Lycabettus Hill. You walk up the 190 or so steps to the funicular. It'll will take you the rest of the way unless you want to keep on walkin'.

John Linton has been a member since 17 April 2008 and goes by ride0583.
Currently in sufferable.
I am a retired secondary teacher (32 years) who spent his childhood developing his skills as a military brat while the family moved from one location to another. I attended Gorham State College to avoid the draft, somehow graduated with a teaching degree in the Social Studies, was hired by the Westerly School Department in 1970, and have lived in Westerly, RI ever since. When people ask me what I do now I tell them "Nothing," but I do dabble in photography and travel whenever I can.
