Delphi

The trip to Delphi today was spectacular. We finally had a chance to see the Greek countryside and it was beautiful. After we got out of Athens, we were quickly surrounded by fields ringed with mountains. As we got close to Delphi, we stopped for lunch and then took the winding mountain road through a little village to Delphi.

The site itself was remarkable. The museum had some famous statues and it was great to get up close with things we only see in Art History books, especially the Charioteer, a fifth century bronze is wonderful condition - the bronze eyelashes are still there. We next started the hike up to the sacred area and saw the Temple of Apollo, the Theater and the Stadium. The kids ran a quick race; I sat and watched.

We'll be on the flight from Milan to Boston by the time most of you wake up tomorrow. You can follow our progress again using the Alitalia website.

I look forward to seeing you at Logan tomorrow.
