The view from my window this morning.
Is it possible that I am learning to be a morning person?
Not long after this beautiful sunrise we docked at Katakolo, Greece.
From whence we caught the bus to Mt Olympus to do some free-range sight-seeing - no tour today. It is an amazing place, I've seen it described as a sanctuary and it definitely had a serene quality to it. We spent a wonderful late Autumn morning strolling in this archaeologically significant site where the first Olympic games were held.
Entrance to the games area, they let women in now. In ancient times the games were just for men who competed naked. At least they thought it was just for men, I just bet there was some secret women's viewing going on that did not make it into the history books.
I tried to get MGM to run a race, he is a runner after all - but he wouldn't be in it.
Here I am, one ancient standing amongst all the other ancients.
So so pretty here. I'm a little saddened that Mike didn't run a race. I think he and Tony should have an an Olympic experience. But perhaps clothed.
