Mycenae and Epidaurus

5/16/11

Location: Tolon

Today I got up and showered and ate breakfast. I’ve learned that it’s usually best to shower in the morning. After I ate, everyone got on a large tour bus and traveled to Mycenae. We went to 2 different places; the first one was Agamemnon’s tomb and the second place was Agamemnon’s palace. Both places were really cool. At the tomb we got to walk inside; it was dome-shaped at the top and it seemed pretty big. At the palace we got to walk up to the top of the hill where we took a lot of photos. Then we traveled back down the hill to go to the museum where they had ancient artifacts. Then we all got on the bus to go to lunch. We ate at a fancy Greek restaurant in Mycenae where they served us moussaka, Greek salad, and chicken kabobs. I really enjoy eating the food here. After eating lunch we traveled to Epidaurus to look at the ancient amphitheater. I got to walk along the steps of the theater and take a lot of pictures. There was a museum with different artifacts at this location too. By the time we all got back to the bus everyone was really tired. I slept on the way back to the hotel. Once we got back I went to the beach and got into the sea and then I layed out for a while. I went back to the hotel for dinner and then walked into town with a few friends to look at the jewelry shops. I love being in Tolon, It’s been one week since we got here and I’ve had a great time.
