Olympia
January 9, 2010Hey all! Today I write to you from Olympia, which isn’t as exciting as Alison’s Antarctica visit, but still awesome 
We arrived here this afternoon after a stay in Nauplion which is a cute town on the Aegean Sea. The water was crystal clear! Before that we went to Nemea which has an ancient Olympic stadium. We actually did some activities like the shot put, discus and running races. I did the running race…. and won so we got to stand up on the winners throne and our professor made us paper olive wreaths for our head…. quite funny. It was amazing to see how they started their races and everything like that.
Today we visited the site of the first Olympics around 700 B.C., which was quite amazing to see. Tonite we have lecture and will probably just hang out in the town/hotel because there isn’t too much around here. Its a quite little town.
Tomorrow we head to Delphi to visit another ancient site with the Oracle of Delphi. Tomorrow ends most of our ancient games minus some parts of Rome which we leave for Monday morning. I am super excited to see another country…. Greece is obviously beautiful but I am getting anxious to see different scenery.
Love and miss you all as always!
Please ask the Oracle about some stock picks.

Watch out for the Italian men. Thanks for the updates. Lots of snow and cold here, I press y face to the window when I get to see sunshine. Packers are playing now, I hope they are saving it all for the fourth quarter, the first half was horrible.
Sounds like you are having a great time! Hold on Rome……here comes Lauren!
