Parliament

I walked from the Olympieion back to my hotel, and it was a bitterly cold experience. Most of the route was in the shade and there was a chilly wind blowing. Brrrr. Along the way I passed the Greek Parliament, where they have a completely ludicrous changing of the guards. I arrived towards the end of it, but managed to take some pics of a part of the ritual I have called "the humiliation of the new recruit".

The square on the other side of the street. It's called Smegma Syntagma Square.
