Yesterday After a short drive we arrived at Alphios a nice terraced site overlooking mountains. Lots of bright yellow mimosa trees deep red poppies and roses. Today we all walked down to the site of Ancient Olympia where a local guideĀ  was waiting to take us around the site. The site birthplace of the Olympic Games was founded in the 8th century

B. C. Its extensive ruins include athletic training areas, a stadium and temples dedicated to the gods Hera and Zeus.some of our group had a race at the stadium, not me!. After a very informative talk by our guide we walked into the little town where we had a very tasty Greek Lunch.
