We have just arrived at our hotel in Delphi, after a delicious lunch. The students keep remarking on how much food we are given at each meal. Bread, salad, main meal (today was 1/4 chicken and potatoes and dessert).
We traveled from Olympia today. It is about 3 1/2 hours. We made two stops along the way. One to see a bridge that joins the Peloponnese and the mainland of Greece. It was finished for the 2004 Olympics and the first person to use the bridge was a torch carrier. We also stop at a small village on the Aegean Sea, so the students could put their feet in the water one last time. Most spent the time skipping rocks.
At Olympia, we saw the ancient track and 2 different museums related to the site.
Tomorrow, we visit Delphi and see the temple of Apollo.
We arrive in Rome around 9:30 pm (6:30 pm cst).
I hope to get some pictures up in the in the next few days.
Barb and I are having a wonderful time with the students.
