Athens: Arch of Hadrian

A little ways out from the Acropolis, back at street level, we walked towards the Temple of Zeus and, in doing so, passed by the Arch of Hadrian. Hadrian was a busy dude, building cities, public baths, and a big wall across Scotland to keep those crazy people up north. Here's a wikipedia entry about the Athens Arch.

One side reads, "ΑΙΔ' ΕIΣΙΝ ΑΘΗΝΑΙ ΘΗΣΕΩΣ Η ΠΡΙΝ ΠΟΛΙΣ" (This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus), and other side (facing the Olympeion) reads, "ΑΙΔ' ΕIΣΙΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟΥ ΚΟΥΧI ΘΗΣΕΩΣ ΠΟΛΙΣ" (This is the city of Hadrian, and not of Theseus).  I copied/pasted that from Wikipedia...

Some architectural details...and a superb blue sky that we often stopped just to enjoy.  Cause in some places the sky is more of a yellowish color.

This is the view roughly from the Arch...not precisely, but close.
