6 Continents, 5 Months

Today we got up and took a tour to Olympia. Olympia is the first play the Olympics were held, 2786 years ago. Every second year, before the Olympics, the first torch lighting is held there. We stood in the very stop the torch get lit every year. It was really cool exploring around the grounds. We went to the museum where we saw statues and old war armour worn by the greeks. The museum was about Greek past, no so much about the first Olympics. After touring around the museum for an hour, we walked around the grounds where the evens were held. It was all ruins except for one column placed my the Germans in 2004, it gave a perspective on how tall the temples were. There was a 100 yard track as an event and we had a race. I came first out of our family :). After an hour of touring around the grounds, we went down to a city on the Mediterranean Sea. We had a really nice, traditional Greek lunch at a restaurant right on the shore. The sun was down by the time we got out of the city so we didn't get a good view of the mountains on the drive back but it was still nice. We relaxed in the hotel room before going for dinner, after dinner we called it a night and went to bed.
