Delphi, Greece
Sunday, September 30, 2007
We are enjoying Greece as it is a much more relaxed pace. It is a completely different culture. We travelled to the northwest and stayed by a lovely lake that is off the normal tourist trail. Saw some recent excavations of mounds that are underground tombs of kings. One is Phillip, father of Alexander the Great. The hilltop monasteries at Meotoria were very interesting. We went inside 2 of them. Most villages are built on hillsides to save the flat land for agriculture. We are at
Delphi where the Oracle was consulted for 1500 years. Lovely view for dinner across the valley. Streets are narrow and winding and we are surprized that the bus fits.
Lov to all
