GREECE - A TASTE OF ANCIENT HISTORY

Athens, the columns from centuries ago at the Acropolis , just imagine how solid they built the buildings then...



















The Parthenon

The Parliament Building (VOULI), a shot with one of the guards.

DELPHI

The ancient stadium, the picturesque city, the mountains; simply beautiful!

I felt in love with the Mediterranean houses from 8th Grade but seeing them is definitely much better than looking at pictures. They use simple lines (especially comparing them to Victorian houses - which are also beautiful) and they use different natural stones a lot. In some areas the colors are earthy and in some areas, closer to the beaches, they are so colorful. They use a lot of canopies too. Gorgeous architectural style!

On the way to Corinth there are many olive trees just like other parts of Greece. They used a lot of them and this is the first time I tried to eat fresh olives in salads...yummy and as you know the Mediterannean diet is very popular now. Do you know that olive tree has been around for more than 60,000 years and they originally came from Asia.

Some of the benefits of olive:

- produce monounsaturated fat (to reduce bad cholestrorol),

- prevent constipation (so its very good for your stomach),

- moisture skin and hair ( i used it before shampo for dry scalp)

- last but not least...its tasty ;)

The Corinth Canal

The ruins in Corinth, this is a real place where Paul used to preach to the Corinth people.

A famous quote from Paul about Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
