Day in Delphi

Hi all!!!!!
It's Holly here and I'm going to tell you about our wonderful day in Delphi! As you have read in the into,  it was absolutely beautiful. The drive there was two hours plus a slight mix up in the rout so we all felt a little bit sick, but when we arrived, we discovered that it was certainly worth the trip. The town of Delphi honors Apollo, god of thieves, prophesies, healing, and the sun. The sun was right! It was verrrrrrrry hot that day and we narrowly escaped sunburn. Before anything happened, we visited the ruins of Delphi. As you may very well know, each city of Greece had a temple there where they placed all of there treasures and offerings to Apollo. What made the site truly amazing was the scenery, of course, but also that everything was so intact! On the temple of Athens, you can still see all of the carvings, though the paint can't be seen anymore. The amphitheater still stood and you could sit comfortably in some places. In the baking sun, we climbed up to the stadium where the gladiators fought. We then climbed down and had a quick look at the museum. After our time on the site was finished, we went down to the town, and had a good sack with a marvelous view. The put an end to our day in Delphi and we drove back to our condo where we went swimming and then made our way over to a friends house for supper.
Hope everything is going well where you are!

Holly-
