Athens through a traveler's eyes and a flea market find
A traveler recounts arrivals in Athens, budget lodging near Syntagma, the Acropolis and Plaka Carnival, and cheap meals. He notes fellow travelers from Australia and America, casual observations on retsina and souflaki, and a contrast with a naval base nearby. The piece ends with rural farm notes from The Pas.
