Politics in Athens

We just turned on Euronews (had a short break) to see a bombed out car on the streets of Athens, Greece. We have been in Corinth all day and upon return noticed nothing strange. However, we were warned of possible protests due to a visit tomorrow from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Greeks have a general dislike for the EU, the euro and all of its own politicians. Matt is especially glad we will be boarding a cruise ship tomorrow (ie leaving Athens). 
Especially interesting considering this (the hill in the background) is regarded as the birthplace of Democracy.
