The next morning began with breakfast at the hotel which put Suzanne and me into a good mood as we went back for more and then noted the location of the afternoon's lecture before beginning our walk about town passing the New Acropolis Museum and going to the Plaka where for a moment, I thought Dimitris meant shoes until I realized that it was the proprietor's name. We continued our walk through the Plaka and then came onto Syntagma Square where we saw the first signs of protest and this poorly executed grafitti as we continued through the protest signs in the square

and then the changing of the guard and another sign of protest while the police shields were on display though I chose (under wise counsel from Suzanne) to not take pictures of the cadre of police getting off their bus and preparing to grab shields. After the obligatory phone booth picture we sat in the park in Kolonaki and watched the pigeons before heading off to the Cycliadic Museum where Suzanne waited until Dimitri showed up and we discovered that both this museum and the Benaki were closed and so we had a cup of coffee and then headed off across the national gardens past the turtles until we passed this sign of protest en route to our hotel and from our hotel to the New Acropolis Museum where we could photograph the excavation below the museum from the outside but could take no photos inside until we reached a balcony and could capture views of the Parthenon

of me of the two of us reflected in the window and of Suzanne not to mention the pigeon and Lycabetus hill the Pathenon and the view to the area below as people milled in front of the entrance and we made our way back to the hotel and noted that there would be a taxi strike the next day which was inconvenient since we needed an early taxi to the port.
