While living in Turkey several years ago, our family visited Athens (in 1986). Really enjoyed the visit! However, the budget for the various departments of government were being debated while we were there. Couldn't see the Acropolis because the workers were on strike. Also saw the teachers marching in protest and at least one other group. While driving through the countryside north of Athens, were delayed about 2 hours by a farmer's tractor blockade on the main highway. Couldn't get through until we got out our video camera. The protestors must have thought we were a news crew, because they smiled and let us through the crowd.

Thanks for triggering the memories.
