National Gardens

We spent the end of the day in the National Gardens just reading and enjoying the relative cool and quiet (Athens is a pretty noisy city).  There are paths all over the place and lots of benches and water features to enjoy.

After relaxing there for several hours, we headed into the Plaka for dinner - real Greek food, NOT a German pub.  I had spinich pie and dolma (stuffed grape leaves).  Yum!  We walked around a bit and I acquired my requisite new scarf : )  then we headed back to the hotel.

 This tortoise crossed my path as I was walking in the gardens.  

He was moving at a pretty good clip for  a turtle!

 An excellent climbing tree!
