Greece photos: Number six

Okay so here is the last picture set from Greece, enjoy enjoy.


This first picture is from Olympia, I really enjoyed our time at Olympia and realized though I wasn't fond of Mythology last year in English I actually remembered a lot from the class and it was really nice to put places and people that we learned about in visual sight.
The next to pictures are from San Marino, the entire place is history the old city and the towers and the views and the landscape were incredible. The pictures are views from and of some of the towers.



These next two pictures are also from Olympia.

Can you imagine people building things like this such a long time ago? (with no modern machinery, these were massive structures)

until next time ->Corrine

Greece photos: Number five

I think just one more set of photos after this, I could be wrong though...maybe two.
oh well, enjoy enjoy.

These first three pictures are from the Orthodox monasteries built in the cliffs of Kalampaka . The 24 monasteries form the community Meteora, which means 'suspended in air'. The rock cliffs shaped by wind and water over the years were beautiful, and you couldn't help but wonder at how the monks first made there way onto these cliffs to build their chambers. These monasteries are what are called ''living monasteries" and it simply means that they are still actively used by monks who live there through the year or weeks at a time. I got to talk with a visiting monk...he said that he comes to these monasteries for 4 or 5 days at a time a few times a year...the history on those cliffs was beyond overwhelming.

Also there were a large number of goats being led around by two or three dogs freely grazing when and where they liked...even if that meant walk down the middle of the road against traffic.

The mountains of Austria, Northern Italy and Greece were all too lovely.

On the ferry cruising the Adriatic Sea with no land in sight, only water and sky.

More tomorrow

until next time-> corrine

Greece photos: Number four

Okay here is the 4th set, enjoy enjoy...more to come still.


This is from the base of the hill we climbed in the Czech Republic.


Me in San Marino, the town was beautiful with the most amazing views.

On the road in Lithuania.

This is where I left my heart. Austria.

Sunrise in the Adriatic Sea; Loutraki Greece.
Honestly I woke up to this, and ate breakfast and watched it in all it's beauty.
"The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, as long as we can see far enough." Nature by Emerson.

More tomorrow.
until then->Corrine

Greece photos: Number three

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday, here is the third set...I think I have 3 or 4 more sets left for you guys. Okay here it goes.

Kalampaka, Greece. The cliff top Orthodox monasteries were full of cats and kittens. You can call me a sap I guess because I feel in love with a kitten with three legs.


SuperFast, the name and speed of our ferry that took us from Italy to Greece.

Honey we shrunk the car!?

"Kid on a spit" okay really bad humor.

The landscape was one think that I really really loved about my trip, I saw things and could finally imagine what inspires painters. It would take your breathe away...the mountains, the cliffs, the orchards, the sea...How would it be like to live with olive, apple, orange, peach and pomegranate trees growing in your yard? Grapes growing off your deck? Out of this world.

until next time ->Corrine

This is supposedly the deepest canyon in the world (and no it's not the Grand Canyon either...) Vicos Gorge, Greece.
This is Corinths' Cannel, it was beautiful the sea honestly was the most beautiful shades of blues and greens that I have ever seen.
Athens; changing of the guards. And yes those are wooden clogs.
This is before Dace and I climbed up the 1000+ stairs to the top.
Oh amphitheater, at Epidaurus.
