Today we got up at 7:15 then went for breakfast. Many of us were still jet lagged. We took the city bus to catch our bus to Ancient Olympia. The bus there took like around 5 hours or so. We enjoyed the bus ride, and the countryside was beautiful. We saw mountains, hills, the ocean, cute villages and a lot of olive trees. When we got to Ancient Olympia we put our stuff in the hotel then went to a local restaurant that the hotel lady recommended. The food was really good and tasted different than America’s. We had a great time chatting and eating all the yummy food. After that, we went walking around this small town. We all agreed that this is a cute small town and does not have many people compared to Athens! We also went shopping for souvenirs. We bought a lot of new things that we never have seen in USA. We stopped by for some Greek dessert and gelato (ice cream) before we arrived back at the hotel. We thought the gelato was delicious! We will visit the ancient Olympic ruins and museum tomorrow. We look forward to learning and seeing more of this area. (Post by Angelique)
