The view of Meteora was spectacular and here we are eating at Mallioras the best Kontosouvli in all of Greece. Turns out our friend and the owner are friends and so he opened just for us at 4:15! and here is Mr Mallioras! Whom it turns out is a good friend of some friends of my family!
Day 39: inside the Parthenon
An amazing adventure with my son!
And here we learn how marble was blocks were kept together with clamps
How the drums of the columns were aligned
And here we discovered a clamp location that we confirmed with the help of Ms Mamidaki!
Day 38: marathon and family
Photos at the finish of the marathon. 6th in 7 years in Athens. Set a new personal PR for my age. I will set a new one next year!
And later that evening my annual family get together and a picture of everyone
Day 37: siblings
A picture of my dad holding court with his adoring elder sister.
She is an amazing woman. And he is an amazing man. In a different era her career achievements might have been the equal of his. Within her more constrained environment she did amazing things.
Day 36: happiness is grandparents
My dad watching his grandson play.

Good food at our favorite Frankfurt airport restaurant and good fun
