Arrival at Mycenae

On the hillside in the background you can see the site of ancient Mycenae, home of Agamemnon. Before we headed over to the city ruins we first stopped to view the unique series of tombs lining a nearby hillside. For the first time since we got to Greece, we hit a wall of heat as we exited the bus. It still didn't feel as bad as Italy's humid heat, but the sun was rather intense and immediately sought some shade under the ever-oresent olive trees.
