We’ve had a tiring day, and each of us has a severe case of Museum Foot. It’s been fun and varied too. Perhaps I’ll share a portait or four.
This funerary portrait in the Archaeology Museum impressed me. Did this man, who could easily be The Chap Next Door, really live more than 200 years BCE?; Here’s another figure from the past, Alexander the Great. He’s posing outside the White Tower, part of Thessaloniki’s defences since the Ottoman era.Spotted on a wall in town. I don’t know any more about it.I know how this cat feels. Might join her.
I'm retired and living in North Yorkshire, where I walk as often as I can, write, volunteer, and travel as often as I can.

How are you guys holding up? Hope you are still have a blast and getting some rest too. 😀
We’re still having a great time. But Thessaloniki is a big, bustling and above all, hot city, so three full days will be enough. Lots of tales still to tell, of course! Xx
Four wonderfully contrasting figures. The last made me smile as did the reference to Museum Foot. Don’t think that makes me unsympathetic – I may use that one!

We’ve remembered we’ve become poor at Big Cities. It’s been fun … but exhausting. Your editing, if here, is impeccable.
