More Pics of Greece

I'm sorry my pictures and stories about Greece are coming along so slowly. I'm still recovering from my trip and playing catch-up with friends, family and work. I'm also still organizing all the notes I took.

I do know that I plan to write extensive blogs on Delphi, Olympia, the Acropolis, and Meteora in the future. For now though, here are some more pictures I took. Enjoy!


The Temple of Zeus (with me in front of it)!


Themistocles' Wall (the hotel I stayed in was built on top of it)!


Information about the wall!



The Lion Gate at Mycenae (with me in front of it)!


The theater at Epidauros!


A real Spartan shield!


Ostraka all featuring the name of Themistocles!



MORE pottery with the name of Themistocles!


Me in front of the Parthenon at night!


A side view of the Parthenon!


A picture of the Aereopagus with an awesome view of the Parthenon!

Stay tuned for Pt. 3!
