Hello all! So we've departed to the north, and so far we're got good internet, at least for the two nights we are going to be in this hotel, so yay! So let's see... today we started out stopping in Thebes, which was fun. We got a tour of the sites which are scattered throughout the modern city, since it is built right atop the ancient one. Unfortunately, as that is the case, there isn't too much to show in the way of pictures of things, so I shall spare you my square piles of rocks ^^ We did get to go into the museum there, which was fabulous, because the museum is actually closed for renovation and revamping, so it's entirely in pieces and scattered about, but we did see a few cool things. They had this nifty grave marker:

It's pretty cool because it is a dark stone with incised decoration that can only be seen from a certain angle. It's most likely that it would have been then painted in antiquity to bring out the image that had been incised on it. Also this snake: I don't know much about him, I just thought he was awesome ^^

So after that we went on to see the Trophonius oracle at Herkyna springs. We didn't actually make it to the oracle, but we have lunch by the springs, and they were way pretty (and nice and cool!)

And then our last stop of the day was at the monastery of Hosios Loukas, where we wandered about a bit. I bought delicious delicious honey (or so I assume, I haven't tasted it quite yet!) and got to wear this oh-so-fashionable outfit, since we had to have our knees and shoulders covered ^^

And then we headed off to Delphi, where we are now, with a fabulous mountain view and two nights to spend here. Hope all is well, love you!
