Traveling to Olympia started at 3:30 a.m. and we didn't arrive until 11:30 p.m., it wasn't as bad as it sounds but it was definitely a long day! The worst part was the bus ride from Athens to Olympia which consisted of a lot of cliffs on a bus with crazy turns. I got so nervous that we were going off the cliff at one point that I had to just go to sleep haha but we made it!!
Today we walked around the town of Olympia to see the historical sites. There was a lot of temples and buildings that looked like a bunch of rocks on the ground but once we went to each place and heard about what happened there it meant a lot more. I really liked seeing what was left of the Temple of Zeus and seeing the Palestra which is where the warriors use to train. After we went to the museum we saw a model of what the place use to look like so we were able to get a better visual!
However the highlight of the day/trip was on our break at the pool. Professor Ryan schooled all of us on diving! This was hilarious and I will never forget how shocked we all were at his diving skills haha I'm glad I caught this on camera!!
