Oops, first Thessalonia and then we leave Greece....

Can you read that?  Think the Bible...(Exodos) :)

So, I forgot, we need to go see Thessalonika, or Salonika as known by the Greeks, or Thessalonia as in the Bible...

Downtown area...



I just thought these buildings were interesting cuz they look more 'Turkish' to me than Greek...this is called Aristotelus Square...

The Aegean!


The White Tower - symbol of Thessaloniki.  Former Byzantine tower, then Turkish prison...



Working it! :)

The palace complex of Galerius Maximianus was built in ca. 300 A. D. to become the administrative and religious center of Roman Thessaloniki.




Camels...


The Rotunda, now a church...

modern Greek Orthodox church...

Guess who...

Thessaloniki is the capital of the province of Macedonia (as opposed to the country of Macedonia) and Alexander the Great was a Macedonian...
"It is now 8 o' clock!" (Mary Poppins)  Meaning, we can now go to Germany...
