Evening to you all.
I'll continue the story of Monday... Dad and the girls and I met 2 girls from Texas in Greece on a mission trip, which was really neat. It's always neat to hear other people from North America so far from home😊

Tuesday we originally intended to head to Delphi, but our GPS was confused and told us it would take about 4.5 hours. Instead we headed south to Naphtaali to see some ruins. We saw a fortress built about a thousand years ago to guard the port in Naphtali, which was really neat as it was largely intact and we could climb around on it. We also went to a castle on a small island just offshore, also built around 1000 AD.

Today we went into Corinth, and visited the ruins of ancient Korinthos, and saw the section where Paul was brought before the proconsul. There were about 6 full size Doric columns still standing from a Temple of Apollo. The neatest part about Corinth was the fact that all the ruins were still more or less set up in the shapes with roads running through, windows sometimes visible, and pieces of columns all forming a major ancient city.

Tomorrow we go to Athens!
