We are currently a little more than halfway through our 4 hour bus ride home. It has been a long day, but nothing less than amazing. We had an early start this morning so that we were able to visit Olympia. As one might have guessed, we were able to set foot on the land where the very first Olympic Games were held! A few years ago (give or take a couple thousand years), the Olympic Games were held to try to bring peace among the people. I had no idea that women were not allowed to watch the games; if they were caught watching, they would be killed. It is much different today, but it was so exciting to see the true beginning of where it all began. After walking around Olympia, we went to lunch and I had my first gyro ever! Greece is a decent place to have your first gyro, eh? It met every expectation I had, and then some. It even had fries on it... I felt like I was at Primanti's!
It has been an awesome day so far. I can't wait to see what is next!
