2002: Robbing the Cradle of Civilization.
by Carl Russo
1.
The lovely caryatids of the Erechtheion were the pillars of Greek society.
Food-poisoned and laid to waste in a yellow hotel room. With a view of the Acropolis standing in majesty above Athens, we were in good company. Although Socrates' hemlock did him in, we survived the tainted food served to the cheap seats on Delta (the Greyhound Bus Lines of the air), but not without some kind of paralyzing sleeping sickness that left us practically comatose for the first few days. Our first bite of food, a righteous gyro from a stall in the Monastiraki marketplace, was positively sent down from the gods.
So many photos, so little time. Here follows a scattering of notes about five (nearly) carefree weeks on six islands. Make sure you click on the photos for a wide-screen blow-up. And here's your map, so you're good to go.
