This morning we enjoyed a full day trip to the Delphi, the site of the legendary Oracle. It's a 3 hour drive north from Athens heading high into the mountains of central Greece. On our way we passed snow capped mountains and some stunning alpine scenery. Our final destination took us to Mount Parnassus, which legend had as the center of the ancient Greek world. On our return to Athens we enjoyed a traditional folklore show with dinner, including Greek dancing.
