Trip to Delphi

This was a bus trip day. I ended up having a good time, but let me just say we spent way too much time riding on the bus! We drove through the plain of Beotia where the town of Thebes is. I learned all about the Greek tragedy of King Oedipus while we were driving.

When we arrived in Delphi (this is where the Oracle of Delphi is) we went directly with the group to the museum. Let's just suffice it to say I needed some time to stretch my legs. I spent the whole time running through the museum. I was very good and never once touched one of the things. So Mama got to listen to the tour guide while I made sure Mommy got the speed version of the museum. Then we got to go outside and head up to the ruins. This was the fun part -- there were a ton of cats. I got to pet them. It was so much fun!
We climbed all the way to the top of the hill where they used to hold the Olympic games a long long long time ago. It was a long hard climb, but we all made it. Here's a photo of us at the stadium. Here's Mama and the temple of Apollo where the Oracle was. It was quite an interesting story.
One of my new found furry friends. On our return trip we stopped for a lunch break and a visit to one of the hand made rug factories. It was a long day, but we made it back to the hotel in time to pack for our return trip back to Geneva the next morning.
