Walking like the Olympians




The boat came into the Katakolon port early this morning. After getting off the boat we took a short bus ride to the ancient ruins of Olympia! First we saw the place where the first Olympic flame was lit.



We also got to see the remains of the gymnasium where all of the athletes would train and compete.



The best part was stepping in footprints from the original Olympians and watching Jerry and Elizabeth race across the first olympic track!



We drove back to the port to a small restaurant where we got to sample some authentic Greek food. It was delicious!
Greece is beautiful and all the history here is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to be in Athens tomorrow!
