Day 1: Ἀθηνᾶ


Our day began in the Hotel Nikis, where every room features air-conditioning. When we got to our sweltering room, I fiddled with the air conditioning panel and couldn't get it to work. I popped downstairs to see the avuncular Greek manager and was told "your air conditioning works fine, but there is no need to have heat in your room -- this is summer!"


The south side of the Acropolis is a neighborhood of meandering footpaths and stairways connecting bungalows, enormous houses, little cafes, sleeping dogs, blossoming orange trees and Byzantine churches. We suspect the national tourism board of having planed the whole thing.
