There will be a few preliminary blogs from Dallas before I leave; this is one.<\/p>\n<p>Athens is 8 hours ahead of Dallas. In other words 8 PM in Athens is noon in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>My hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and the highs in Athens should be perfect for swimming. The online reviews also say that there is a rooftop terrace with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. Right now that plus a nap looks like the plan after a hotel check in hotel Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The photo journals will be using the JavaScript webpage I wrote and used last year. I may post a few on my FB page. I&#8217;m guessing the free hotel WiFi will be slow and it is faster to FTP to my website than to create albums on FB.<\/p>\n<p>The camera I will be taking is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. It takes good HD videos as well as photos. So if I find some interesting action I may do some videos. Those probably will go on YouTube, if I can tolerate the slow upload. Otherwise they may wait until I return and can upload faster at home. Right now the only &#8216;action&#8217; I can think of is the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Things like the Parthenon tend not to move around much.<\/p>\n<p>I have set up a Twitter account &#8212; @canicusmodius &#8212; I&#8217;ll try to tweet some. Don&#8217;t look for much political commentary on my FB page, here or on Twitter. I&#8217;ll be focused 2,500 years ago. But then, Athens was the birthplace of democracy then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have transferred the blogs from the old website to this blog.
