Once we got to Greece, Ben recorded Jane
and himself
and then demonstrated that his teeth had survived the trip
to his amusement
as he recorded his room with its safe
pants valet
television
and took this self portrait
before recording sandals
and Jane reading about the Jews of Kenya
amid the water bottles
and coffee service
and then an artistic shot
and his bed
and the shower
and the view of the Acropolis
the table on the balcony
and the hill above.
On Wednesday night, Ben, Jane and Sarah were on their own for dinner and so they went to Parliament where Jane and Sarah posed
to see the changing of the guard
as Ben recorded his shoes
Sarah's
and Jane's
as the pigeons assembled
and the new guards arrived
to change places
though the pigeons seemed not to care
even as the guards went away
because they were well fed (and it was only a guard who slipped and fell).
Jane watched
but she was ready for the recycling machine
of the Alpha Bank
which spreads a good message but still owes her 3 Eurocents.
At dinner, they chose from the menu
and began with bread
to the amusement of Ben
and Jane
and Sarah
once she finished pouring water
and could get into her beer
as Jane drank her Coca Cola
and the main courses
quickly became clean plates
except for the artistic images
and the food that kept going
even with the gap in the tablecloth
as the final food was being divided
before Jane and Sarah bought bags
before they returned to their room to Jane's amusement.
