Yesterday we visited Olympia and the site of the Ancient Olympic Games. They light the torch for the modern games here every Olympics. The ruins here were amazing as you can see.
We then made our way to Nauplia, a beautiful little seaside city. The kids are loving it here and we will stay here for two nights.
We travel a day trip to Mycenae today and then to the theater of Epidaurus.
Gteetings from Mrs. Chaulk's 4th period geography class. We LOVE your photos and your blog posts. Jonathan would like to know what your favorite part of Olympia has been. Is it warm or cold there right now? What has been your favorite Greek dish? Have y'all been enjoying the baklava? Landon wants to know something interesting you've learned about Greek mythology. Have y'all gone boating? We are praying that you have a very safe journey. God bless!
ReplyDeleteWow! What great photos! I can only imagine seeing all that in real life! Glad to hear y'all are having a good time.
ReplyDeleteA special hello to my softball girls, AD and Madison--we miss you & the fun y'all bring to practice!
Will be praying for the rest of your trip, that God would pour out his blessings on each one of you!
