Athens, Greece

Greek people seem to think it odd that I take pictures of this action figure with their ancient ruins. They stop and just stare as if I’m doing something weird. Guess Flat Stanley didn’t make it here. The Bowler had a ball none the less. He stood on roads and buildings that were built in the 600 b.c. time frame. He stood where the Apostle Paul stood when he was at the judgment or bema seat in ancient Corinth as well as on the spot where Paul gave his famous speech to the Greek people about Jesus. (See Acts 17:22-31 and Acts 18:12-17) |
On his journeys the Bowler visited Poseidon’s Temple in Sounion, Greece. He saw graffiti carved in ancient marble columns that dates from 200 a.d. to 50 years ago. Some of it from famous people like Lord Byron.
| The next stop was the Acropolis in Athens which is where the Parthenon and several over temples such as Nike’s still stand. From the acropolis you can see all of Athens, a city of over 4 million people and not one skyscraper. He marveled at how they build the Parthenon without one straight line because they knew if they did they would look curved to the human eye, therefore all the lines are curved to make them look straight and the building look larger.
The last stop for the bowler was the ancient city of Corinth and the Acrocorinth which is Corinth’s acropolis, which apparently in Greek means a very large and high rock that was created for the building of temples. Today the Acrocorinth has a few ruins and fortress walls built in the 12th and 13th century a.d. – Chad Quesenberry |

It’s official! Chad Q has sent me a picture of the Albino Bowler in Greece, which means we have confirmation now of the Albino Bowler being on 4 different continents! I’ll let Chad tell the story when he gets back, but the picture he sent me is incredible (quite possibly the best picture we’ve had yet!). Stay tuned, this will be a good one!!
