Demonstrations

I went to two demonstrations yesterday while I was on strike.
In the morning...

 (I always take the chance to take photos of sites or whatever I find interesting during the demonstration like this beautiful ancient wall in the city centre)

 (and this beautifully painted ugly wall)

(The Arch of Triumph or Galerius Arch)

 (Truck drivers demonstrating)
 (Pigeons watching the demonstration)

...and in the afternoon...

 (which was spoilt by the sudden very heavy very cold rain!)

We took refuge under the tent of a book bazaar and of course bought some books!
And OF COURSE the strictest measures ever were adopted by the Parliament!

On strike.

Thank you all for sharing thoughts and prayers on my dear friend's dear daughter who is still in very critical condition.
Today we were on strike (teachers,state employees,shop owners,doctors,bus drivers,journalists,all kinds of workers).There have been huge demonstrations against the governement for reducing salaries.We were there.
You can follow us and do some sightseeing.

 We gathered at the Arch of Galerius or Kamara.

We were outside Saint Demetrius Church ,the Saint protector of Thessaloniki.

 We passed in front of the Ancient Forum.
