Hotel Boucas Kaména Voúrla

... It could seat 5,000 people. It was cool to see this theater and know that in a couple of days we were going to see the ultimate Greek theater (larger and best-preserved) in Epidavros.

Another ten minute walk up the mountain was the stadium. Every four years, athletes and spectators from across Greece gathered here to watch the Pythian Games. These games were founded around 582 B.C. and had the same kind of sports as the Olympics. The stadium is really well-preserved ...

... we had only a couple Euros left. (We’d been using a different currency in Istanbul and had some debit card troubles recently so we were low on cash.) So before we could begin to look for a cab in this tiny Greek town, we had to find an ATM. We asked a local where one was and luckily he pointed us in the right direction. A couple blocks later, we found an ATM and successfully pulled out cash. Another block later, we found a row of cabs. We walked up ...

Lunch at the Amalia Hotel in the new village of Delphi was tasty,and another good opportunity to begin some new friendships. With the political parades in Athens there were difficulties in getting all the tour group back to their hotels and we found ourselves dropped off at Syntagma Square after a circuitous ride through the city to drop off others. We ...

... admit. At that moment, two trail bikes whizz across an unseen track right in front of me. The first fine drops of rain feather my arm. That's it - the magic is well & truly broken... who needs to see some more old ruins anyway?! I decide to turn around & hope to get down before it starts in earnest.
On the way, I loop across to what I think is Mt Parnassus and do a little dance of ...

More columns, ruined columns... a lot more to come in our visit in Athens!

... About half ways there, we hit rain. This was such a surprise to me. At the last minute, I had grabbed a long sleeve shirt but that was it. I ended up letting Mandy wear it for the weekend because she didn't bring anything and I was never really that cold. We had a 2 hour drive to Delphi. When we started to get into the mountains, the bus began to have a lot of problems and it took us forever to get up the mountains and to Delphi. Another bus ...
