From Delphi to Athens

5/22/11
Location: Athens

I got up this morning and made sure that all of my stuff was packed before going down to breakfast. I really wish that we could have spent more time in Delphi because it's a really nice city. I ate breakfast with the group and then we brought our luggage down to the bus. We loaded all of our things on and then walked down to the Ancient Delphi site. The museum and ruins were less than a mile away. We explored the ruins and walked up the hill at Delphi. There was so much stuff to see and I got a lot of great photos. We were already on top on a huge mountain and we were climbing up even farther to get to the top. We spent about 2 hours looking around and going to the museum. I walked around with Xuan Anh at Delphi. She's another friend that I've made on this trip. After we got done at Ancient Delphi we all got on the bus and drove about 30 minutes and stopped in a little town for lunch. It was probably the best lunch that we've had so far because here was so much food to choose from. We had 4 or 5 different appetizers and a main course. After we got done with lunch we got back on the bus and drove for 3 hours to Athens. I slept for most of the time on the bus. We finally got to the hotel and settled into our hotel. I'm glad that we're done traveling around; it was fun but it seemed like a lot of moving in less than a week. I spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool and I also worked on homework with some friends from my sociology class. So far I'm enjoying Athens and we'll be exploring the city more tomorrow.
