Athens

by Trillian2005 - last update: Sep 18, 2006

..was named in honor of Athina...

Athens, Plaka
...the Greek Goddess of Wisdom. Her wise influence eventually spread across the whole country of Greece and has remained until today. Travelers are advised to choose their steps wisely in Greece, especially while climbing the narrow staircases in Plaka, the old city of Athens.
Colorful Postcards. Choose wisely!

Plaka Postcards

To buy or not to buy a picture post-card? That's yet another one of those challenging decisions in the life of a traveler. Again - remember you are in Athens, so choose wisely. There's no shortage of colorful picture post-cards in blue, green, turquoise, orange, and magenta. Now all you need is a matching (or contrasting) pen for your meaningful message, and then you're ready to send those old-fashioned, colorful, charming non-e card greetings to all your relatives and friends back home who will be delighted to add yet another useless post-card to their overflowing paper recycling bin or to their refrigerator door.

The House of Pavlos Papadopoulos

When Foula, my dear friend from Athens, visited me in Germany, she noticed an immediate resemblance between Pavlos Papadopoulos and my computer. So my computer running Windows 3.1.1 became Pavlos Papadopoulos I. After his reliable services were outdated, he was donated to a high school in rural Turkey.
His (all computers are male - at least in several languages including German) successor with Windows 98 was Pavlos Papadopoulos II. We still have an ongoing, although somewhat disconnected love affair.
My current sweetheart is Pavlos Papadopoulos III. He's a real laptop and after a few start-up problems we've gradually been falling more and more in love with each other during every Internet connection. S'agapo, Pavlos!
