I'm reading about how this oracle stuff all worked, and the bottom line is not very much is known, but a whole lot of mystery and speculation surrounds this site. So Keira had been sick most of the night, so since we couldn't stay at the hotel, Addy sat with her in the shade of the only tree available while Carter and I went to find the belly button. So several people (we think 4 out of 20) were sick and our great tour guide scheduled a doctor's zoom call and got prescriptions for one really sick kid. They thought food poisoning. Keira was better within 24 hrs, the other kid was sick for a week. This part of our trip (Olympia-Delphi-Meteora) was one night each place. It was a very demanding schedule. |

Each of the sites we visited--Delphi, Olympia, etc--had ruins we could look at, walk among, touch. Mostly these were ruins above ground (very few "digs") and they consisted of fallen columns and stubborn foundations. Valuable items, like the navel of the world, or statues and murials, were removed and placed in site museums.
It was hot in Greece. I am thankful for that, because the museums were air conditioned (or at least what the Greeks call air conditioning). That meant I was able to get all 3 grandkids into the museums. This picture is a very common sight in the museums: an artists/archeologists rendition of what the area would probably have looked like a long time ago. It was helpful, because it wasn't obvious from just walking among the ruins. |
