Now For Some Tailgating

Hello again! So, Dr. Kaplan sent out an email of a rough itinerary for the trip, and I couldn't resist Google-stalking some of the places we're going. Really, did anyone expect anything less? :D

Adventure Number One: Rhodes

This is the first destination of our journey! We set off immediately for Rhodes after arriving in Athens, a journey that will include two overnight sailboat rides. Let's hope those motion-sickness patches work!

Adventure Number Two: Delphi

Delphi is kind of like a Greek Disney World, making the trip is something of a given. Island hopping actually one-ups theme park touring, though, as we'll learn so much from the historical ruins that roller coasters couldn't even compete.

Adventure Number Three: Arachova

Arachova is most famous for it's popular ski-resorts. Lying just outside Athens, this town provides an excellent getaway for those seeking the slippery slope. Sounds like a blasty blast, alright, but I think we'll have to make due with some hiking or beach strolling during the dog days of summer!

Adventure Number Four: Hosios Loukas

I can't wait to explore the beautiful art crafted in this Byzantine empire! It'll be very interesting to visit a building with so much history.

Adventure Number Five: Corinth

If Delphi is Disney Land, then Corinth is New York City. It would be sacrilege to skip over such a prominent Greek capitol during our stay.

Adventure Number Six: Mycenae

So, apparently there's eons of history packed into this huge pile of rocks. Go figure.

Adventure Number Seven: Nafplio

Sounds to me like Nafplio is every Floridiot's dream: crystal clear beaches and bright, hot sun. Can't wait!

Adventure Number Eight: Sounion

That's the Temple of Poseidon perched precariously on the cliff, surrounded by blue, blue water. We'll be spending a glorious day on the beaches and exploring ancient ruins.

Adventure Number Nine: Hydra

More beaching and eating in on the little island of Hydra. Team Kaplan sure knows how to butter up us Florida kids.

So there you have it! Just a couple of the site's we'll be visiting during our five week vacation...I mean...studies. Right, 'cause we're going over there to learn and all that. Yep. Anywho, in approximately one week and five days, I'll be posting my own photos, so keep a'movin' and a'shakin' and stay tuned!
