| This port was so different from the others we had visited. It was very small town and the surrounding area was green and the countryside was lush. This was the only port that we did a excursion with the cruise line. It was at least 40 mins from the port to the Ancient Olympia site and then we wanted to hear some of history of the area. |
 |
| This is part of the Olympic site....it was very pretty and the weather was perfect! |
 |
| We were the typical tourists with earphones and tags sporting what group we were with. |
 |
| Of course most of it was ruins but there was still a few things standing. |
 |
| Here was our tour guide with one of those flip books that has past/present sketches. They are kinda cool for us visual folks. :) |
 |
| They still use this area today to light the offical "Olympic Flame". They use the device pictured and it is lit from the sun. |
 |
| This was the entrance to the stadium. |
 |
| My strong man! :) |
 |
| We both ran a lap around the field. The green grass is where everyone would have sat. We were inspired to keep our running up....did we tell you we want to do another half marathon and a spirit triathlon in 2013! |
 |
| A little celebration! |
 |
| It was a fun time and we were glad we went on a tour to hear more about the area. |
 |
| We then went back to the town and had a little food, did a little shopping and then saw this sign. Guess where we went next!? |
 |
| Yes, this time I even enjoyed the water! |
 |
| Being ever the romantic...Marc had bought a copy of our wedding vows! It was a wonderful celebration of our 10 years...here's to many more...(and more awesome cruises too!) |
