Day 2 - Epidaurus

Today we went to Epidaurus. It is an ancient Greek amphitheater dating back to the fourth century BCE. It is considered 'the perfect amphitheater'. No matter where you sit, you can hear the performers on stage clearly. This was illustrated by Mr. Whitson, standing at the epicenter and speaking clearly to us in the VERY top row. The walk to the top was difficult, but very fun as well. We saw some other minor ruins, but they there mostly in the process of being reconstructed to show what things really looked liked at that time. We had lunch at the bottom of the hill at the local town at out bus driver's favorite restaurant. It was very enjoyable especially because there was a stray cat people took turns feeding. The cat got a free meal, and so did we; Mr. Whitson paid for our meal. Thanks Mr. Dave ;).
