Ancient Olympia

Today we visited the site of the ancient Olympic Games.
A huge buffet breakfast was followed by a short bus ride to the entrance to the archaeological site where we met our expert local guide, Marietta.  She was quite a character & we enjoyed her colorful descriptions of the the ancient games.
After visiting the beautiful site itself, including competing in our own sprint races in the historic stadium, we visited the site museum to see the most precious artifacts found here.
The afternoon was free to enjoy the sunshine by the pool, to shop in the small modern town, or to take a nap!
