Ok we did drink in Athens, but that is not what I’m talking about when I say “Twist”.
The ruins are scattered about as much as the graffiti.
Every move you make, every step you take, no one is watching you, but you may run into a ruin.
Well, that is a lie, I may be watching you from one of the many sidewalk cafes!
And splattered in between and around there are sprays of paint. Graffiti, mostly tags, some political statements, and fortunately some art as well. It makes an already chaotic scene even more busy for the eyes. I will gladly say, I did not see any graffiti on any of the ruins.
Getting back to what is important…the ruins. Some still in somewhat of a building form, some partially there and some are just in piles.
The history and the stories of the people that lived back then are way more interesting, than the ruins themselves. If you ask me.
There was so much more to Athens then just ruins, history and graffiti.
Like the meat and fish market, a Soccer event and the cats!
And finding cool little spots, that have big personalities!
To Athen’s flora & fauna!
A big city of history and we just learned a tiny bit of it.
You have to spend time to go through it all because modern life lives over layers and layers of history. It may take a lifetime to peel them off.
We are in Rome now and leave tomorrow, so not sure what my next post will cover. I may do one just for Rome. Although we were here only a short time, we crammed a lot of big buildings in.
Thank you once again for visiting
