Athens in the Evening

This photo tour was cut short by Andreas' phone getting stolen. But these ones were either from his larger camera or were uploaded to the cloud before it was pickpocketed on the metro.  They're pretty, but it was odd having him come home - early - with his tour guide in tow. Never did recover the phone, but it was a brick to the pickpockets, at least. And the tour guide was so apologetic. 
These photos were so pretty, too. The window is at a house. The museum under this is the new Acropolis museum. You can eat out on that pier in front. Andreas had his phone out to take photos in the metro, since most of the stations have archaeology in them. And when he put it away - the pickpockets saw where and took advantage. At that point, thieves hadn't had any real business for two years and were extra pushy. They did report it to the police, who saw the pickpockets escaping. The Athens police shrugged.
