Athens - Have you ever tried this?


June 2009. In front of the Greek Parliament is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guarded by the city's famous statuesque 'evzones', the presidentials guards. They are being photographed by thousands of tourists every day, especially during the hourly changing of the guard. It is a spectacular sight observed by millions over the years, probably by you reader as well... But... have you ever tried to imitate the height at which they lift their legs?! Or to walk or stand still as they do....?? I did not manage when I tried it.They have a flexibility, control and balance many a tango dancer would envy!
