The temple of Hercules in the ancient Agora set amidst the craziness of Athens. This has to be one of the most tranquil spots on the planet. To wander these precincts in the heat of the day is magical. To imagine the hubbub of the people swarming, probably so similar to the Greeks of modern times, is a special feeling for me.

It’s so sad that Greece is now where it is. I know the saying is that people get the government they deserves, but how cursed are they?

I will walk these paths again, the sooner, the better.
