Delphi

Today we drove 3 hours to Delphi to see the Temple of Apollo where the oracle of Delphi sat and gave prophecies to everyone who came and sacrificed. Basically she sat iver a crack in the ground where toxins came out of the ground and made her high and speak jibberish. Then priest would interpret it so the outcome could go either way. We climbed up the mountain to check out the ruins. There was a cool secret passage say that we. Could go through and it was basically an ancient playground. It was unfotunate that my camera died while we were up there zoning can't take pictures at the monestary tomorrow. We also got rained on. Then we drove 4 more hours to kalambaka at the foothills of the monasteries. Now there is a nice thunderstorm. The Greeks say this is the most unusual summer weather hey have had in years. All I can say my parents better be glad I can't bring animals back cause I would have like a bajillion cats and dogs and maybe a bunny. There was a whole family of cats at Apollos temple, they were super cute!
