Antonios Olympia

... out:
1). I'm going to do great at our first gig
2). I'm going to make sure that we have our own concert
3). I'm going to make sure that we get an agent to get us all around the country/world
4). My Mom and Dad will never find me at all in history

Gotta go, band practice.

XOXO,

... this was the only place that we wish we had not wasted our time visiting.

Time to put Andritsena behind us and mention a few more interesting things we have noticed about Greece

First, Greeks still observe set mourning periods for the loss of loved ones. As a result, you see lots of people wearing black. Tradition still dictates that if your spouse dies then you wear black for the rest of your life or until you ...

... s The Illiad, you know that Agamemnon was the Mycenaean king. At the entrance to the fortress (once thought to be the only site, but it is now thought that there is a whole city still buried), there is a stone with 2 lions depicted and it is called 'The Lion's Gate'. Again, I do not know as much about this site as some of the others, but I know that it is significant in its age and the fact that it is still being excavated and may change the way that Mycenae is viewed ...

My sisters & niece joined Henry and I for a day trip to Olympia. Barb and Alex were supposed to join us but unfortunately there was a taxi strike and they couldn't get to the train station to join us. On top of that the bus schedules were erratic and hard to figure out - they eventually toured the sites of Patras while we were in Olympia. Hmmmm, after seeing all the Roman ruins, walled cities, fountains etc. in Italy - Olympia was ...

... out more, and it was confirmed. I think that most people probably thought that one day a croc or snake would get him, but for it to actually happen... All I can say is that we were really really gutted. Although I was looking forward to the trek the following day, I went to bed on a real downer. The guy was a legend and Nik and I were really looking forward to visiting Australia Zoo later in the trip. We will still look forward to it, but now for different reasons.

... roaring like a lion! And guess where we ended up???? Problem is McDonalds in America is seriously minging! They really are dumps! And I was so hungry i could have eaten 12 burgers! Opted for my old fav - a big mac...but it put me off for life! Back at the hostel think we drank more very cheap beer and no doubt played more cards! Day 3 Went to check out the waterfront and the cool sounding old curiosity shop! Checked out some cool shops....but the coolest ...

... breakfast, she needs her down time in the morning which I can relate to. So, up and at 'em we were. Michael seemed to take f o r e v e r to get ready, but then I had showered just before dinner last night and then gone directly to bed. Finally I got him out of the cabin, (after he returned twice!) and off to the Lido Restaurant for breakfast with Bob. Once there, we were going over our list of things for the days tour of the Olympic village ...

... one turning!! after an hour of thinking what can I do with no car and no phone she wandered in having walked 12 miles instead of 5!! Still it was good to have her back (as I could now get into the car and at the cookies I could see through the window, I was starving!!) Unfortunately over the next couple of days it appears as though katherine managed to have a brush with some poison oak and 'contracted' some rather impressive blistering domes under her right armpit ...

... travels. Found a closed campsite on a beach - in fact everything is closed. I have not seen a single person since arriving. It is the low season after all. Mikines from afar Tomnb of the king - with dome interior Enterence gate to the city bural chamber ruins of the city Pasage way to underground spring Coastal view _______________________________________ ...

... a last meal. As always we were in for a surprise when we arrived. We were treated to our favorite seats, the corner of the bar, personalized menus and Chef Joseba's personal attention. What followed were nearly four hours and nine courses of culinary heaven. The photos tell only part of the tale. Thank you Joseba and Caroline for what will be an evening we'll never forget.
