Hey all, well I finally got around to loading the other photos from our trip out to Delphi. Luckily, the day before Josh left for Greece he was able to go and get an international drivers permit so we have been able to rent a car rather than take a bus which is great because we can actually stop where ever we want... I just have to give Josh enough warning to safely stop on these windy roads we tend to take.
Here are a few pictures on our way to and from Delphi - it was raining most of the morning, but the views were still pretty incredible.
Sorry this is a longer post - Enjoy!

The next few are a couple from the town of Delphi
While we were at Delphi we decide to hike to the top of Mt. Parnassus (the ruins are built into the side of this mt.)
It was pretty clear, although windy, most of the way up; however once we got to the top we ran into some clouds trying to go over the mountain. So it got pretty white and REALLY windy...
But we made it... yeah that is the cairn at the top behind me; however I wasn't going to take another picture.... I was cold!!!! Plus did I tell you how windy it was? I didn't want to get blown off the top.
Mt. Parnassus is also a ski resort; somehow I am not sure I would trust these ski lifts.... What about you?
My hubby the geologist found this fun little piece of history as we were warming up behind some rocks out of the wind.
On our way home the weather was a little nicer so we decided to check out some fun spots along the way...
Along the way we decided to stop at a local restaurant (sorry can't remember what town we were in...) But it was great - the owner didn't speak English so he let us come into the kitchen and pick what we wanted to eat... The food was so good I am glad we stopped.
Then we passed an archeological site sign that said there was an ancient theater so we decided to go hunt it down. Just as we were turning a corner we could see a glimpse of it through some olive trees...
The fun part of these off the beaten path sites is they are free and usually not roped off so you can get up close and personal.
Then in the middle of this field there was this church... So we stopped to have a look. I thought the pastor was trying to tell people something leaving the Yugo out in front. Get it - You go to church... ha - I crack myself up...
Right before we got into Athens again we saw on a ridge this really cool fortress, it only took Josh 2 missed turns to finally get into the correct driveway.
