Athens

Went to the dentist in the morning.  She put a temporary filling on the tooth.  Hope it holds.  Then it was on to the police station which was impossible to find.  We finally did find it and made the report.  Just a formality.  It's hot here and we love it.  Went sightseeing all day and then dinner in the Plaka, the old town, and ate the ruins and looking straight up at the Parthenon.  Earlier we saw the changing of the guards at the parliament.  We just happened to be walking by when the guards came out.  Then, further down the street we saw the funniest thing..a platoon of Greek military guards were marching down the street in formation led by a German Shepherd dog.  It was hilarious.

Tomorrow we go down to Piraeus to catch the Azamara Journey for our trip to the Black Sea, ending in Istanbul.
