Oh look! Two in a row! Be excited! Ha. So today was a pretty slow day - as slow as things ever get with this high speed program, at least. Today we just walked around part of the Agora and then went to the Epigraphical Museum. They were both pretty cool. The epigraphical museum is interesting mostly because it has both lots of inscriptions, but also inscriptions that preserve paint, like this one:
For some reason they always seem to use red. We're not exactly sure why, or why some have it and others don't, but it is interesting, and certainly makes letters easier to read. This one was part of a pillar dedication. After that we just came back to late lunch at Loring. The cook lady here is named Vula, and she is so sweet and such a fabulous cook. The worst part about traveling around is that we don't get to take her with us. Anyways! Packing and organizing seems to be the rest of my day, and tomorrow we are taking off to the Peloponnese starting with Corinth. I shall try to stay caught up, but we'll see how the hotel internet connections are looking. Love you all!
