wherein another blogger deposits her January photos (but this time it's in late February)
For a good portion of my first ever IAP, I explored ancient sites in Greece with 19 other MIT students and a trio of professors from the MIT History Department and Concourse program. Here are some pictures I took.
Day 1: Acropolis
parthenoff
parthenon
the distant blue is ocean but if they could put more cool buildings out there they probably would
not the stata ampitheater but close
a grand ol’ flag
actually my phone background
Cats on a Hot Tin(Metal) Roof
Day 2: The Agora and various areas in Athens
people added for size comparison
in case you were hungry for more columns
that thing on the hill looks familiar
I bought crepes near here!
somewhere between athens and delphi
an instagram pic that would definitely have some fake deep caption like “not all who wander are lost”
Day 3: Delphi
F O G (and also the rain threatened my camera so I didn’t take many pics here :/ )
Itea, home of great fish
Day 4: Olympia
I was actually surprised at how disassembled a lot of things were here
the og stadium
a sampling of horses and other quadrupeds (note: these were in every museum. I took pictures of them but thought posting them all would be annoying. take my word for it.)
Day 5: Epidaurus and Nafplio
this was in nafplio and I just thought it looked pretty so enjoy
a view from palamidi

the great wall of nauplion
that CONTRAST
did my photography skills glo up or did I just get a new phone
MIT kids spotted in an unnatural habitat
get u a peninsula that can do both
this one is scratch and sniff
Day 6: Mycenae and Corinth
scary lions over the entrance
could you imagine maintaining an orchard with walking distance of mycenae
more spooky fog
sadly no “apostle paul was here” graffiti in corinth
wow I can’t believe those columns are holding up clouds
Day 7: Athens (once more)
fortunately there was panathinaikos graffiti in athens
a sentimental view from the roof of a hotel prior to departure
