Today, we left hotel Oscar in Athens this morning at 8:30. On our way to Delphi, we got to sight see on the bus drive. Here we drove past Attica and saw many mountains (which they call hills haha!). It was a very dreary day with a little rain. The drive took about 2 hours to Delphi. We made one out stop to a small shop on the side of the road. The. Finally landed in Delphi. It was beautiful. We passed Castillo springs where our tour guide Andy told us that it where people "purified" themselves before going to the oracle. The oracle we visited was apollos and it was amazing. Unlike the Romans, they kept restoration of the many historical sites. Even if they weren't perfect, they were practically the real deal from past times. She also spoke about how orscles gave advice to people and sometimes the people's eould over look what the oracle would say. The Greeks always looks at the good and bad side of things in life. The overall experience was amazing. It was a slightly chilly day. I learned so much from today, even if I can't remember it all forever. We then ate lunch after exploring where I had a sampler plate of different Greek food. After, we visited the tholos which is a snake pit. Then we finally landed at our hotel in Delphi. Having a blast!
