More of Athens

After our eventful day visiting the Acropolis, we took a break from our sightseeing so Pete could fit in some work meetings. It worked out great because it was raining anyway and it gave us time to hang out at Julie and Spencer's place. The following day, the sun was back and we ventured once more out into the city. This time we took the Metro one stop to Syntagma Square, which is the largest and most central in Athens.

Right as we exited the metro station there was a little cart selling these monstrous sugar donut looking things. Of course we had to have one. Unfortunately the square was filled with many stray dogs who also were in need of a large sugar donut. We spent little time perusing the square and headed off to find a more secluded (dog-free) area.
Luckily, a few blocks away we found this little spot in front of an old Russian church.
