Traveling through history.


The Temple of Apollo where the oracle dwelt.

This hornet used the all to typical mongol attack strategy. He went on a wild attack run that caused panic through ought the bus then retreated to his hole right alongside the AC unit above my bus seat. Fortunately I read Sun Tzu in preparation for just such an escipade and awaited his return from his little fortress. As soon as he reapppeared I finished him with my shoe. The remains of Athena's temple at Delphi


"Hail the victorious dead!!"
At the monument of Leaonidas. Just three history lovers next to one of their most favorite histoircal figure ever.

We climbed the mountain behind Delphi on a whim, here is me at the top. This is the mountain we climbed.




A view of the coastal town next to Delphi
The Valley bellow Delphi, complete with olive groves
Yet more ruins of the temple. After reaching Athens we trecked threw the city for multiple miles and used theoney we could have spent on a taxi to celebrate our victory. Nutella, Coke, fresh bread and some sort of fruit that slightly resembles nectarines. Tomorrow we seek out the Acropolis and Mars Hill.
