Athens and Delphi

Our last two stops were Athens and Delphi.

Below is the Parthenon, they are doing restorations that is why there is so much scaffolding. The craziest thing about these ruins is they weren't destroyed by natural disasters but by war. They survived thousands of years and then war destroyed them.

This is me sitting on the edge of the Acropolis looking down on the city of Athens.

The beach by our hotel in Athens was beautiful. The water is blue and crystal clear. We spent one afternoon on the beach. It was extremely relaxing.

Holly and I saying bye to the beach as we decided to venture into the city.

City of Delphi ruins. It was an all day trip to Delphi, which is in the hills of Greece. This city is famous from the story of Troy, King Agamemnon travelled to see the oracle about having good winds to sail to Troy for war.

Below is Holly, me, our tour guide Margaret, Amy and Tammy. After two weeks together it was hard to say goodbye.

My trip to Italy and Greece was more than I expected and though I thought it would satisfy my need to travel, it only enhanced it. This world is so beautiful and I am grateful to my loving husband, who I missed these two full weeks, for trusting me to go on this trip without him to fulfill one of my life long dreams.
