Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Boy this month is buzzing right by since it is already the 21st of June.
Today I have some more photos from Greece. Thank you everyone who mentioned you are enjoying them. I never know how much gets to be too much, but I guess if people are sick of something they'd just skip the blog post. 😏
Today's photos are from Delphi. We had a lovely little hotel (Delphi Acropole City Hotel) for the night we were there, and being March, it wasn't very crowded. Look at the sunset view from our hotel balcony.
We also spent the next day exploring the ancient site and the museum on that site. Here are a few photos with some faces for Nicole's Friday Face Off and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break at the Archaeological Museum in Delphi. Everything in this museum was dug up at the ancient site. The Ancient Greeks considered Delphi to be the center of the world, because according to mythology, Zeus threw 2 stones, each one in different directions, and this is where they both landed. Delphi was also home to the Oracle, the source that was considered when decisions needed to be made in ancient times. There's no smoke left that the oracle used so if I had any important decisions to make, Delphi's oracle couldn't help me- grin.
The site is on the side of Mount Parnassus, which is now part of a Greek National Park.
One thing that surprised me (but that I found interesting) was how some of the items dug up at Delphi almost have an Egyptian look. That is true for these 2 large statues. I guess that was as true then as it is today.
I love the idea that we can see pieces of the past that have been dug out of the ground. You can guess after that statement that I really enjoyed this museum and the archaeological site. I’ll share more in another post.
Delphi is also a town with some good restaurants and interesting shops.
Thanks for visiting. And have a great start to your weekend also.
