This will be my last post about our trip
We had a great time and now looking forward to the next one
MAUI in 2020
From Athens we traveled overnight to Katakalon
It's on the Western Coast of Greece
And their claim to fame is that they hosted the Ancient Olympics beginning in 776 BC
The games were an honor to the God Zues and there was a large statue of him that was covered in copper. Gone now, of course, but they have depictions of the statue
The Stadium was where the games were held and could hold 45,000. Only men were allowed to watch
192 meters in length
Sam (a sprinter in his youth!!) getting ready, set, GO
They still light the Olympic flame at this site!!
Then is was back to the pier and the ship
Pillow gifts for Thursday
and then for Friday
We definitely were spoiled and had a wonderful time!!!!
Back to stamping soon!
