July 21 - Yesterday we left Meteora and headed for the convention grounds near Athens. At Lamia, we decided to take the inland highway rather than follow the coastal road. Big mistake! After about 15 miles, we saw a sign at Bolio, ignored it, and went on our merry way. The road narrowed, but we were passing through mountainous terrain so we didn't think anything about it. Soon the map and the road were not matching. We finally saw a sign that said "Delphi, 25 Kms". We saw then that we had taken the wrong way.
We passed through Delphi, and the ruins lie along the road on the uphill side. It was 3:00 PM, we were hot, tired, and stressed, and we put it to a vote. We all agreed to stay. So we toured the ruins of the Oracle of Delphi. We rented a hotel for 40 Euro, and E-mailed Doyle to tell him of the mix-up.
I cant get over this rock construction! Those columns are fantastic. How did they get one rock on the other!?
