Today we loaded up our bags & hopped on the bus nice
& early and headed northwest towards Delphi. It was a pretty quiet couple of hours as we
all snoozed on the way. But, what a delightful surprise when we awoke to
breathtaking mountains, capped with snow, and lush green valleys. I seriously
thought we were in Switzerland.
Delphi is nestled up in these mountains, but it’s a bit more
jagged & rocky there. We got a full tour of the place and learned about the
Oracle and all that transpired in Delphi many, many years ago. We hiked up even
further to see the stadium and were treated to jaw-dropping views of the Temple
& the valley below.
The kids did a scavenger hunt/quiz in the museum. The
winners?! Team Iowa: Conor & Sarah!!
The Team that picked what our guide, Maria, loves the most? Also Team
Iowa: Shannon & Brooklyn! Prizes await them!
After a delicious lunch nestled in the hills with amazing
views, we hit the road again. A good bus ride is never complete without ice
cream. J
Our final stop tonight is Patras. We are nestled right on
the water & have some pretty amazing sunset pics. WiFi is spotty, so if you’re reading this
today, I actually got it loaded after the kids went to bed and stopped sucking
up the WiFi. J
Tomorrow we’re off to the Races: Olympia!!!!
