DELPHI

Yesterday we drove from Athens to the beautiful town of Arachova where we were staying the night. We tried to find a monastery but ended up turning off the main road onto a narrow road twisting steeply up to a mountain (grandpa mike put a bandana over his eyes so he would not see and faint). It stopped midway overlooking whole valley of greek renewable energy: wind and solar farms. I ran up the gravel path to get a better view and who did I see but Zeus in the shape of Benedict Cumberbatch, just a little way up the path.  I started climbing higher and higher, leaving the rest behind... climbing the top of the mountain disappearing from view, "Come! join the cast of Sherlock!" He said. But then I heard the desperate calls of my mother and realized what was truly important. The ruins of the sanctuary of Delphi is nestled high in the mountains and as one gains altitude the view becomes more and more impressive. One of the coolest parts is the fact that we were walking in the steps that the pilgrims would walk to ask questions to the oracle of Delphi. And remember: γνώθι σαυτόν.
