To be honest, I was interailing at the time and I'm a bit vague on the specifics of which lovely artifacts I saw in Rome, Athens or Istanbul.Yes, there’s not much shelter from the sun. Did you see all the lovely artefacts on display found when digging for the metro for the 2008 Olympics? It’s the next station from Syntagma Square beginning with P. Panastimio?
I'm almost certain I did see the stuff from the metro, but my main memory of Syntagma Square is of a man coming up to me and sprinkling some seeds into my hands so a pigeon landed on them. Unfortunately I didn't realise the idea was that I paid him for a photo of this, and when I turned him down he kept hold of my hands and kept pouring the seeds until I had about 15 pigeons all over me.
Which was nice.
