Nafplion 2/16/10

Today we went to Epidauros to see more ruins such as the Sanctuary of Asklepios and the Ancient Theater. The theater was pretty cool as we could experience the power of the acoustics when Jim and Eva lectured from the central spot while all of us were spread out atop the structure. I’m really excited to see the Coliseum now. Reconstruction of some of the ruins was also taking place. Utilizing the remains of ruins they fill in the gaps with new pieces to rebuild the structures as they once were.

The dogs here really like us. One will follow you around for the whole day, such as “Coastas” who did just that with us.

Having already seen the castle yesterday, a few of us decided to go to the island fortress. Not bad. No formal tour really just a sight, but I wish that the boat that took us there would have given us more than 20 minutes.

Went out tonight to celebrate Kim’s B-Day. I got the Old-Fashioned cocktail. Not my favorite drink, but I felt inclined to get it because of Don Draper. Very strong due to that being the way it is, or the bartender at the restaurant we went to didn’t know what he was doing.
