Rambling Tortoise

Some additional photos from the Greek Popular Musical Instruments Museum.

The museum, converted private mansion, has a lovely courtyard and there are some trees and ancient marble pieces. There was cherry blossom flowering.


Cherry Blossom

The leaves belong to another tree planted togather with the cherry, if you were wondering.


And there were two rambling tortoises: this is one of them. Greece is full of tortoises. If you go to large parks or archaeological sites, here they are. I remember that the Kerameikos archaeological site was particularly full of them.



But then, inside the museum, I saw this.



I wondered if they are pasturing tortoises to make this kind of instruments. hahaha
