Lately we have been touring around mainland Greece. The
first stop after our flight from Crete to Athens was Delphi. We did not arrive
until late because of our flight being delayed! In Delphi we went to the Delphi
archeological site! It was pretty cool! There were ruins of the Temple of
Athena, an ancient gymnasium, and all sorts of other Greek ruins. After Delphi
we made a stop at Meteora! It was the coolest thing to see monasteries on
cliffs! You sometimes had to hike up stairs or take bridges to get to them! We
finished Meteora and drove to Mt. Olympus! It is pretty snowy up at the top
when you get the views! We are staying in a town called Litochoro. It is close
to Mt. Olympus, but you still have to drive or hike quite a ways to reach it. Greek food is delicious! I have not tried
moussaka yet because it has eggplant in it. I have not tried pastistsio either.
Pastistsio is basically moussaka but instead of cheese, veal, and eggplant it
is noodle, veal, and eggplant.
