Athens is a Zoo

Walking around Athens you will see many different types of animals living free in the city.  Check out some of the animals I spotted.

Do you think he knows he has a bird on his head?  This bird was spotted outside of a university in Athens.  Maybe he just wants to go to school?

One of the turtles who lives among the ruins at Hadrian's Library.  Do you think he is as old as the ruins?

On the job.  This dog protects the entrance to the National Archaeological Museum.  That or he is just resting in the sun.

Someone isn't following the rules!

No squirrels, raccoons or skunk to be found, but a lot of stray cats, dogs and yes, turtles!  Amazing how city animals can be different from place to place.  I wonder what other animals I will see in cities around the world!

  2. Dear Spot,

    The dogs in Greece are very friendly. They love to come and sit by your table when you are having dinner, hoping that you drop some of food so they can snatch it up.

    I hear you have been very barky recently. What's up with that? Miss you loads, and can't wait to see you in a couple of months.

    Love,
    Mr. P
