Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Forever

 Today was another exciting day!  We left Athens this morning and this was the first of several signs I saw on our drive to Nafplion.  


Sadly, we didn't see any boars attempting to cross the road.  We did, however stop by the amazing Corinth Canal.  It was completed in 1893 and provided a channel between the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea.


From there it was on to Epidavros home to one of the best-preserved theaters in Greece, and it is big, capable of seating over 17,000 people.  The acoustics are simply amazing.  A lot of people wanted to try them out, so, one by one, they stood on the floor and clapped their hands together.  Believe me when I tell you it was loud up on the 34th row.


I then walked over to the Sanctuary of Asclepius.  The son of Apollo, he's the god of Healing.  I was surprised by how large an area this archeological site covers.  

And finally, since I'm going to be heading out shortly, I thought I'd let you see a picture of the Acropolis last night from the top floor of my hotel.  This is something that will stay with me forever.


And of course, Harris is going to debate Trump tomorrow.  I don't doubt for a second that he's going to remember that moment forever, too.
