Delphi

So we got up somewhat early today and took the 3 hour long 10:30 bus to Delphi. We were dumb and didn't get off the bus at the site so we had to walk up and down hill from the other side of town. We ate lunch first, and just was we were finishing up, it started to rain. We quickly got to the site and bought tickets to the museum. The only thing is the museum closed in 20 minutes. We rushed through it, and realized we still had 10 minutes so we went again. (It's small). They finally kicked us out at three so we went to the ruins parts. We hid in the bathroom for a while, the rain let up a little bit so we protected our electronics ( mostly from the Asians, not the rain) and trudged on. There are some pretty spectacularly preserved things there, like the ampitheatre and the stadium. It was very cool. We stood at the top of the ampitheatre and made Eric go to the bottom and talk to us. It worked good. The acoustics were impressive! We walked for a long time, up and down hill and made it back to the bus stop 15 minutes before it was supposed to leave, but the bus was 1/2 hour late. Eric, Joel and I had to sit at the very front, and discovered there is no smoking on the bus, except if you are the driver and you chain smoke! The bus ride was bearable. Wew vistited Geoff for the last time and came back to the hostel to make supper. At 10 pm. We had eggs and dry salami and it was very good and filling.

Tomorrow Dayna leaves and we go to Olympia. We are almost out of this country! It was great, but it time to leave. We are running out of things to do. Sometimes it feels like we are making up stuff to do.
