| With dr Scahill. An introduction to the history of Agora. |
Niestety. Stało się.
Tegoroczny objazd naukowy po Grecji lądowej już za nami.
Siła wyższa sprawiła, że wyjątkowo nie wybrał się z nami w podróż prof. Kazimierz Lewartowski, pomysłodawca wyjazdu i autor trasy, którą pokonaliśmy.
Mamy nadzieję, że podołaliśmy programowi i mimo wszystko wycieczka okazała się dla uczestników owocna pod względem naukowym. Często bywało śmiesznie. A raz nawet strasznie (w Atenach stanowczo omijajcie Omonię).
Serdecznie dziękujemy pani Agacie Ulanowskiej, pani dr Monice Rekowskiej i panu dr Dariuszowi Szelągowi za wspaniałą pracę (tak świetnych przewodników ze świecą szukać!) oraz prof. Jerzemu Miziołkowi za cenne uwagi.
Uczestnicy szczególnie gorąco pozdrawiają pana Andrzeja! Może spotkamy się na kolejnym objeździe? Co by pan powiedział np. na Kretę?;)
Poniżej krótka relacja z pierwszego dnia objazdu.
W programie same hity: 2 razy Agora (ta rzymska i ta grecka), Aeropag i Akropol.
Szczególne podziękowania kierujemy do dr Davida Scahilla, który zdradził nam tajemnice budowy Stoa, przybliżył historię samej Agory oraz (pomimo okropnej alergii) oprowadził nas po Agorze.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
Also this year's scientific trip to Greece. Although prof. Kazimierz Lewartowski, the inventor of this journey, couldn't be there with us, we hope that all of the participants had a blast, both scientifically and adventurously!
We would like to thank Mrs Agata Ulanowska, dr Monika Rekowska, dr Dariusz Szeląg for exceptional guiding and prof. Jerzy Miziołek for eagerly sharing his knowledge with us!
Special thanks go to dr David Scahill, who guided us through the history and monuments of the ancient Agora!
Here's a short relation from our first day in Athens: roman&greek Agora, Aeropagus and Acropolis.
Enjoy!
The visit started on Roman Agora

drow the attention of visitors accidentaly passing by! |
 |

 |
| Remains of Old Library |
 |
| The Auditorium |
 |
Surprised?
I don't think so. |
We than rushed to see the ancient Agora
 |
| The Agora, where modern meets ancient. |
 |
| Actually sad to see the trains pass through ancient monuments... |
 |
| Inside the Stoa of Attalos |
 |
| Some original parts were restored |
 |
| With dr Scahill. An introduction to the history of Agora. |
 |
| Agora seen from an unusual perspective |
 |
| A quick look at the column with rests of polychromy. |
 |
| And off to the ground floor where Agora's museum is located. |
A walk through the remains of Agora...
 |
| The Acropolis (as seen from Agora). |
...to admire the temple
 |
| The Hephaisteion |
 |
| It's facade |
 |
| and the frieze |
 |
| Dr Scahill explains all constructional features of the building |
 |
| The entablature |
And back down to earth

Next stop: The Aeropagus
 |
| Agora seen from the rock |

Mrs Agata Ulanowska
Windy enough |
And the last point of the day:
The Acropolis
 |
| After entering |
 |
| Passing through the Propylaea |
 |
| You can look but you can't touch it! |
 |
| Everybody knows it |
 |
From the outside
The ladies |
 |
| From the inside |
 |
| And in front of it |
The Parthenon
 |
| Work in progress. Since...well, like forever. |
 |
| Support needed |
 |
| Happy now, lord of Elgin? |
 |
| That horse is amazing! |
To be continued...
