This morning I got up bright and early and went down stairs after getting ready for the day to have break fast. Today we are leaving for Delpi Greece and I ended up getting up around 6:15 am. For breakfast DyiMy made up bananna nut bread. It was delishous!! Folowing breakfast I went up stairs and sent a few emails befor going to my room to finish packing for our over night trip. The group then departed around 8:00 for out trip. It took about 3 howers to arive in Delpi. Most of the trip people sleped. When we arived it was so butiful waching the huge rock formations and the blanket of olive trees in the valy. It is defently one of the most butiful places that I have seen.

Then we all got off the bus and started our tour of the site. The ruons that have ben restored along with the pristeen senoury made the sight that was built into the hill side joust amasing. We stoped by the treshurary area, Temple to Zuse, the ancent theator and then we had free time. From here we had the oportunity to hick up and see the old coluseam. This is where they would have ran there races. It is the most well preserved stadum today and was aroung 177 meters long. The hill side had stone seets that had ben built there.

Folowing our time at the arcelogical site we went and toured the museum here for a while. Some of the main hilights here were the two cornals who are bothers statues, a sufinx, and a stone that menchionds arastous on it helping date Pauls travles in this area.

Folowing the site we travled to the next town were we had lunch. Here there was a wonderful view of the plan and you could also see the canall that helpes feed Athens with watter. After lunch then headed down into the valey where we travled throu the olave orchards. From here we travled up and over mounton rigious till we reached the bigest play and most fertile area of Greece. Here we traveled all the way acrosed till we reached the other side and where the clifes are sher staight faces of rock. It is beleaved that the plan youse to think that it was a huge lack befor an earth quake brock up the ridgeand caused the water to flow all out.
