wiliqueen!
In other news ... things have been rather calm, I guess. I've been routinely walking down to Syntagma Square to get lunch, and it occurred to me the other day to check out the marble steps in front of the hotels on the northwest side of the square. When I first moved here, protesters would routinely smash up those steps and throw the fragments at police, and stonemasons would have steady work repairing them, only to see them smashed to bits in the next major protest.
Now? Those steps are not just intact, they're starting to get weather-stained. They've been intact for a couple of years now, at least.
