June 22, 2009. First full day in Athens. My travel companions were busy preparing for their conference in the morning, so I set out exploring the marketplace! I saw some sights and sought out the famous poet-sandal maker, got a gyro on souvlaki row...so good.
Later, I went to the International folk narrative research conference cocktail party, where Jeana and her friends met up with a professor friend.
Our hostel was right near the brand new Acropolis Museum, where they put on a great light show at night, animated smiling Kore...
Athens is a very interesting city. It reminded me of a very ancient LA...it has a lot of secrets.
