Delphi

We're in Delphi, having wended our way around the Peloponnese yesterday. Greece requires a great deal of imagination to appreciate. This is how it goes:

1. We visit an archaeological site.
2. We view 2,500-year-old ruins.
3. A guide explains how the site was used and what the buildings were.
4. I think to myself, "Lots of rocks."

It IS impressive and some places, like Olympia, still have pillars and arches and Agamemnon's Tomb is VERY well-preserved and striking. It's hard for me to envision the civilization that was, though.
