Frank is quite reluctant to have me take his photo, but I was able to snap this one at the Parthenon as he waited next to an upper portion of one of the marble columns that had been turned on its side. The photo gives you a good sense of the diameter of the columns.
This photo gives you a good idea of the downtown Athenian neighborhoods... narrow streets lined with apartment buildings, all of which have balconies! We went past block after block like this. Because parking is street-only (in building underground garages they always seem to run into archeological findings, negating any further excavation) the car size is quite small. The latest rage in cars here is the new "SMART" - a joint effort between Mercedes Benz and Swatch (yes, the watch people - who would have thought?!)
