A couple of years ago, I went to Greece.
One day after I had visited the Acropolis and had a wonderful, leisurely lunch, I decided to wander.
And then I walked through some warp zone and found myself in Beirut.
I am not kidding. I got confused. This part of Athens looks exactly like neighborhoods in Beirut. I lost any sense of direction and just turned corner after corner, marveling at the striking similarities and wondering if I had somehow fallen asleep and was dreaming or maybe I had died and been sent to Beirut.

Here are a few more from Beirut from an old camera:
You can find other Beirut photos here. More from Athens:
