Travelogue #3. Changing of guard of greek evzones

Hello, Steemians!
Every Sunday at 11 o'clock the ceremonial changing of the guard takes place in Athens. The ezones march to the sound of national anthem of their country. It's completely incomprehensible to me how they manage to do it in such a heat. We were there in T-shirts and shorts, sweating under the burning sun, it was maybe 40 degrees. And their uniform consists of woolen stockings, shoes weighing 5 kg each, hats and a carbine. How they managed to march so nicely is a mystery to me.

Evzon (translated from Greek "well belted") - an elite unit of the infantry of the Greek army.
