We woke up on time today (kind of a problem for us!) and made it to breakfast in our hotel in Delphi.
We were SO lucky today! The weather was wonderful! It has been so hot and today the clouds were covering the sun and we got to explore the Oracle of Apollo without sweating our butts off!
Melissa and I were very proud as we understood the greek symbols that our tour guide was reading to us on the alter of Apollo! We saw his sanctuary and the stadium where athletes competed every four years much like the Olympics honoring Zeus.
While visiting the museum on site we got to see all of the gold that was given to Apollo and his twin sister... It was amazing!
For lunch we went to a cute seafood restaurant down the mountain! It felt so nice with the breeze over looking the sea!
After a long bus ride, we finally got to Kalabakah where we are staying tonight. We ordered two glasses of wine and sat back to enjoy the views. We were given an assortment of nuts with our wine.... Melissa threw one in her mouth and then said "this nut is so hard, it could break your teeth!" i almost died laughing when i told her "yes, because you are eating a pistachio with the shell on it!!!!"
We are going to see some monasteries tomorrow and then we will be driving 5 hours back to Athens!
