En la continuacion....

...because I posted after midnight, last night, officially it was Sunday, but for me it was still Saturday!!! So this is the continuation of our walk down town..


...here we had lunch...lovely crepes...and good talk...

...a "karagiozis" workshop or "theater of shadows" as it's called. It's a theater established in Asia Minor. Some believe the Turks were influenced by the Gypsies who came from India, while others claim that they were influenced by the Chinese at the time when the Turks were still nomadic tribes, still others argue for a Mediterranean origin in the Egyptian shadow puppet tradion. Whatever the case, it is worthwhile to mention that regardless of religious restrictions, shadow theater became more widespread around the 16th century among the Muslim Turks...


...call me silly, but I just love the little bits and pieces of Athens...


...enjoy the rest of your Sunday...tomorrow there's more...
