Here are some observations of my recent visit to Attika.
| The Greek press seem to be obsessed with images of a certain Corporal Schicklegruber and German Chancellor Mrs Merkel cuts a trim figure dressed in a familar uniform and appears to be very popular. |
| On a bus riding towards Cape Sounion - 35 miles for €1.60! Motorcycles compete with the tram by riding in the bus lane. |
| My front porch appears to have become a motorcycle parking area! |
| A metro train - anywhere in Athens within 90 minutes for €1.40 |
| Octopus grilled and then chewed |
| mixed starters |
| Mussels and feta |
| Pastries from Asia Minor recipes. |
| At this time of year free oranges adorn many streets in Athens |
| A visit to Mount Pendeli to pick up marble... |
| ...and watch the traditional beginning of Lent kite flying. |
| No mention here of corrupt and inefficient government and Goldman Sachs |
