Standing on the steps of a temple at Olympia. This is where the medals were presented to the winners of the 1st Olympic games.WOW! It is amazing how HUGE the original Olympic site was. Did you know the Olympians had a gym, a sauna, a hot tub, and even a hotel???
I know, I know, it looks like a postcard. Here I am at the Korinthos Canal in Korinth. This man-made canal links the Aegean and the Ionian Seas.It is also in the city of Korinth that I saw a poor, spray-painted dog. Like many European countries, Greece is COVERED in graffiti. Even the animals... Someone had spray painted a poor stray lab cobalt blue.
This first picture is me at a traditional Greek restaraunt. We tasted traditional Greek foods such as roasted lamb and pork. My favorite item on the menu was the Chicken Kabobs which are seasoned with a lemon-salt...Mmmm. There was Baklava & icecream for desert. My beverage of choice was Coca-Cola Light which is quite tasty although not quite as good as my liquid sunshine- Diet Coke w/Lime.
Well, here I am at the Acropolis. It is amazing that these beautiful, incredible structures are still here after 1000's of years. Athens is now my new favorite place....who knew?
