Oct 21, 2010 - A door to the ancient world

The good news was that the night before we had gathered the essential items from our large bags and repacked two small duffels for our 3 days on the road. The bad news was that we still had to walk the ever sloping hill from the Hotel Tempi to the Amalia Hotel in order to meet the bus for departure on our 3 Day Classic tour of Greece. A bagel sandwich and sugar pretzel thing later, we were on the bus and ready to go. Right at 8:30am, the bus pulled forward. . . about 8ft. where we waited for another 25 minutes for our tour guide to arrive....

Nov 6, 2007 - Asini Beach

We arrived late at this little town, and with the hotel right on the waterfront, it is beautiful. It is a place we could have stayed a little longer in. Looks like you can hire little boats and row out to the islands off shore. However, it is only a pitstop until we get to Athens tomorrow.

Aug 23, 2007 - Micenas

Micenas debe haber sido la segunda gran civilizacion griega. Aunque el sitio no es muy grande, su influencia ya en los 1600's - 1100's AC se extendia por buena parte del sur de Grecia. La ciudad en si estaba en la punta de un cerro, toda amurallada. Lamentablemente no queda mucho, aunque estan haciendo mucha restauracion. Aqui fue donde reinaba Agamenon, el que comando' el ataque a Troya en los 1100's AC. Se pueden ver algunas casas, teatro, la esplanada del palacio, las murallas, tumbas en forma conica, y un tunel que llevaba a una fuente...
