Mar 22- We took a day trip to Delphi today. This is an area with a temple dedicated to Apollo high in the mountains about 3 hours from Athens. We saw ruins of the Treasury buildings where they kept the offerings to the gods, we saw the Temple for Apollo and the Oracle, an amphitheatre, and an Olympic Games stadium. This was a long day starting at 7:30 (actual pickup at 8am) and getting back around 7:30 pm. The area was beautiful and spectacular to view. We also saw ruins of a temple to Athena along with a gymnasium where the athletes stayed and practiced for the athletic games competitions. This evening, we decided to be adventurous and took the Metro to Piraeus and had a sea bass dinner along the waterfront at Zorbas. The trip was quite an adventure with no specific directions after the metro stop, just to ask people how to get to the restaurant. We finally made it after asking three people where the place was. Going back was better and not such a big adventure.
