Athens Open Thread

The National Archaeological Museum in Athens is a gem, as you can imagine. They had a special exhibit going on of one of the most famous ancient Greek sculptors, Praxitelis. Amazing. And the lighting of the exhibit was phenomenal.

Compare that to our first day in Athens when Fodor's led us into a crack den. Well, actually, it was more a heroin pit than a crack den. I've never watched people injecting heroin before, let alone from 6 feet away. I just kept hoping that mom wouldn't point and say, hey John look at that! She didn't. Note to Fodor's: You might want to give better directions to Diporto restaurant, and warn folks that you're leading them into quite likely the worst section of town.
