  5. Ancient Athens Meets Modern Tourism

    When the sun is shining, it’s nice to have portable shade in the form of an umbrella. In Athens on the day this photo was taken it was a hot day!

    The Basilica of Megali Panagia (which translates to “Great Virgin Mary”) was an early Christian basilica built in Athens during the 5th century AD. What makes this site particularly fascinating is that it represents the transition period when Athens was shifting from its ancient pagan identity to becoming a Christian Byzantine city. The basilica was constructed using materials salvaged from older classical buildings, a common practice called “spolia”, meaning those stone blocks you see in the photograph might originally have been part of temples or structures from Athens’ classical golden age, essentially recycled into a Christian church. The site reveals multiple layers of Athenian history literally built on top of each other. Athens during summer regularly reaches temperatures of 35-40°C (95-104°F), which explains why that blue umbrella is essential equipment for archaeological site visits. Many ancient sites in Greece now restrict visiting hours during the hottest parts of the day to protect both visitors and the monuments themselves from heat damage!

  15. Is #DeltaAirlines on this? Because my stepdaughter, her husband, and their kids, age 1 and 3 are traveling (4 seats, 2 car seats for the kids).
    Leg 1: not allowed early boarding, told to board with everyone else.
    Leg 2: able to board early to secure car seats.
    Leg 3: told to board after zone 2.
    Leg 4: told to board after zone 4.
    Can there be a consistent policy for parents hauling car seats to install?
