The Corinth Canal and Greece

After passing through the Corinth Canal which took about an hour, we spent 4 days on the island of Poros with it's white washed buildings accented with colorful doors and shutters. We caught up with our friends on Keiki Kai, toured the entire island on scooters and found many idyllic beaches. Our last island stop was quaint little Hydra where no motorized vehicles are allowed. Hiking up behind the town to the old monastery afforded us spectacular views of the Aegean sea beyond.

Delphi: The Center of the Ancient World

Delphi:
In the 6th century BC, this place was considered the center of the earth; the place where Zeus' eagles met after flying around the world. It was the setting for the original athletic competitions within the large stadium, it contains an amphitheatre, and also the famous oracle. There were buildings from every region of the world where its citizens would come and leave offerings after getting the advice they had come so far in search of. We toured the museum and the grounds and decided we should race accross the ancient stadium. We weren't exactly prepared for a serious race (notice the lack of shoes on my feet), but it was fun none the less.
