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.
