The Oracle at Delphi!

Shot out the window at the little restaurant along the way.  This little town was actually a "ski" town, apparently where all the Athenians go when they want to hit the slopes.




Delphi sits on some pretty high slopes, too.  It was a pretty drive.


Could this be the Oracle?




Treasury of the Athenians...



Ruins of the temple of Apollo...




Here you get a feel for the way the Temple and surrounding buildings looked out over the valley...


Amphitheater built into the hillside...


View from the front row...


My Little Pony got to go to Delphi, too.





Greek graffiti...






Possibly from the statue of Apollo outside the temple.


Ya know the great golden calf?   This was one of those...  pretty cool!




And here he is... the Charioteer of Delphi!  So cool!!!






And a model of what Delphi would have looked like before it went to pot. :)


We saw these folks coming up the hill and had to do a double take!
