See the Changing of the Guard
One of the unexpected delights while in Athens was to go to the Greek Parliament and see the Changing of the Guard. The Greek Parliament is located just outside Central Park. The guards change every hour, similar to the Royal Guards in London, but with Greek costumes and with Greek Traditions.The picture is of me standing beside one of the Guards.This is such a "tourist" activity. I cannot believe that I, too, fell into the typical trap.Note, just as the Royal Guard, he does not smile or show any kind of emotion. Note, too, the outfit. I especially liked the shoes with large tassels!
