Delphi

One thing I got in Greece was a terrible cold.  It knocked me out for a day mid week.  So I figured a three hour ride to Delphi would be a good excuse for an easy day,  and still check off one of the big sites.

Delphi was awesome. I loved being able to walk up the hill in the path of so many poodle before me- the ancients and the tourists.  :)  the site was well preserved and arranged did you could feel a bit of how it was.  Pictures in the museum helped imagine it even more.   There was the "navel" stone,  the serpentine column,  the impressive columns,  and above it all,  the stadium.  I'm so glad I climbed all the way up! Nearby was the picturesque temple to Athena and Olympic training grounds.  It was a beautiful day,  though windy,  perfect for walking in the mountains.  This might have been my favorite stop in Greece.

On the way home I had a delightful conversation with a man from Michigan who was in Greece on holiday.  It was so nice to have someone to talk to! It does get lonely on the road.
