Day 6: Epidaurus, Mycenae & a Birthday

We left the quaint town of Nafplion and headed to see the ancient theater of Epidaurus.  So beautiful!! Even more spectacular because we were the first ones there. The acoustics were phenomenal and our guide showed the kids through a variety of examples, even Dr. L joined in the fun!
We then headed to the citadel of Mycenae, nestled in the hills, and checked out the ruins as well as the beehive (literally) Treasury.
Our last activity,  just after lunch, was a pottery workshop. We made little clay dolls and designed them to our own tastes . Sadly didn't get to keep them, but a creative, fin outlet!
Our afternoon consisted of a 3+ hr ride to Olympia...siesta time! Another quaint town of little stores and delightful people.
We celebrated a big milestone today!! Sophie turned 18 today!!! So along with 40 French kids at our hotel, we all sang her Happy Birthday and got to watch her blow out her candles in Greece!! What a special memory for all!!

Stay tuned for more adventures tomorrow!!
