Fruits Market

A small fruits market near Monastiraki square.

 

Working The Inside

No real progress on the outer rays, but the inner ones have come out now. Lots of spiky bits.

 

Lots of Randomness

Doesn't really look like anything yet, but you can see bits of flowers, at least.

 

Slow Going

I have reached the part of the project where it's hard to see progress. It doesn't help that the spinner hasn't been bringing her up often.

 

Chips

Okay, crisps since they're British. Turns out there's a British store here. Andreas found it online and got me some things for my birthday. The pickled onion chips are a hard pass. But the cheese and onion are still my favorites.

 

The Muses

Once you get away from the palace and across the huge field, you get to a little wooded area. Around the fountain in the center are the nine muses.

 

Archaeology by Monastiraki

Lots of archaeology in Athens, for some reason. This is one of the main digs; it's about a kilometer from the acropolis and is where the main markets and trading were done.
