I have some pictures of our trip to London that I will be posting when I get a chance to resize..
I lost most of my pictures of an earlier trip to Europe when I damaged the discs they were on..only had a few left that I hadn't downloaded and were still in the camera. This park was only a block behind my Hotel.. I would get up early in the morning when it was still cool, and walk in it, trying to absorb the sights and sounds that I had experienced the day before. The whole trip went much too fast... a sensory overload so to speak. This picture was taken the day before I left... somewhat diasmayed that I did not have more time.

At the feet of the Acropolis Rock, right next to Plaka, is Monastiraki. Another little pocket right in the heart of the city of 4 million, where time stops one century back and peace reigns, flowers are in bloom, people take the time to look you in the eye and smile, unhurriedly... a plunge into a different era altogether...
The last photo dates from about a month back. We had been at the Herodeion Theater to see Carmen and after that we had late supper at the roof garden of a restaurant close by.

Again taken with my cell
And no, you remember the steps coming down from Lykavittos Hill and into the fashionable Kolonaki. That's quite far away from Acropolis and Monastiraki

I can not imagine that a cab in Athens is reliable.
