Rhodes, Greece
There was a bit more to yesterday's walk up the acropolis hill.
The old circus at the acropolis.
I took way more photos than necessary of Apollo's photogenic old temple.
North from the acropolis is a picturesque way back to town.
I haven't noticed this species of
cactus before here in Rhodes. Don't know its name either. It reminds me
of Arizona chollas, but not quite-
The Holy Monastery of Saint Nicolas
Now we know where he hangs out when it isn't Christmas. None of that North Pole stuff for St. Nick.
Still up on the hill, we cross a residential neighborhood.
Finally, our hill ends with a drop down to the northern tip of the island.
That just might be Simi across the water, but I think it is Turkey. (Google Earth isn't working for me tonight, or I would check it out.)
Next day: I checked - it is Turkey.
The New Town (Neohora) down there is dominated by tourist hotels, shopping, and a casino.
Back again in the old city. As long as the afternoon sun shines, Romios restaurant's patio is a gold mine of this sort of pictures.
