Sorry, we are a little slow in getting this stuff posted.
This is a traditional Greek Breakfast
On Wednesday we woke up and went to the Mycenaean tombs believed to be the people of Agamemnon, who took on Sparta in the battle for Troy. (remember the movie Troy?)

We then went on to Epidaurus to see the site of the oldest Greek theater.

We finally returned to Nauplia for a free evening. At dinner we learned that apparently Greeks enjoy breaking plates on purpose and yelling "Opa!!!!" (which is a tradition that goes way back and has lots of different reasons for which it started... but mostly now days it's used as a way to celebrate at a party or a wedding)
