Greece -- Athens, Olympia, & Temple of Poseidon

I can not believe how wonderful Greece was. We went to the Acropolis. On top, is not only the Parthenon - but also, the Temple of Athene NMike, The Stod, and Dionysus' Theatre. A little ways off is the super columned Temple of Olympian Zeus. We drove for 4 hours to the site of the ancient Olympics. In the site was the training grounds, Temple of Zeus and Hera and the ancient track. The Temple of Zeus was almost all rubble, but one of the columns stands to show how tall it was. We then ran 4 laps on the ancient track. We had it all to ourselves for a long time! On the way back, we drove to the Temple of Poseidon. It is on a cliff and we also had it all to ourselves. I hope we have a fun last week of travel!

* The last picture isn't actually the Temple of Poseidon in Greece :-) Does anyone know where it is from (except Nonni, Mimi, and Pa).
