Mycenae

This morning we got up and drove from Tolon to nafpolia, the original capital city beater Athens. We just hung out around the sea port town, climbed up to a castle and enjoyed Zoe gelatos. Then we drove to Mycenae which is where King agammemnon lived in his fortress before he went and fought in te Trojan war. We hike up the mountain that the fortress is on, went through the lions gate and explored around the fortress. In recent excavations they found the mask of Agammemnon and a lot of other treasures up in a simple burial ground inside the fortress. We also got to go down into what used to be a natural spring that was inside the rock mountain we were on. We also went into a a burial mound/tomb that is completely conserved, the architecture of these ancient societies are incredible!!! After Myceanae we had lunch then drove back to Porto Rafti. It's suppose to be a three hour drive and we got back in an hour and a half. All we have left today is a quiz tonight around 8. Tonight should be fun because all the summer HUG students will be back from Egypt this afternoon.
