It was Suzanne's birthday and to celebrate, the Seeger Board had its meeting in the morning and then Trevor Clayton and Margaret Danny and Dimitri Suzanne, Ben and Sarah and Mary gathered as I demonstrated how I can take self portraits and profile shots of myself and recorded a street sign as we made our way to the museum of the region and then back to the streets where Ben, Sarah and Suzanne posed and then were joined by Clayton as we admired narrow streets and then saw Margaret emerging from a pharmacy as we made our way back through the plaza

and saw this status and this watering structure left over from Turkish times and the prison afar as we recorded the name of the hotel for posterity (where else will you ever have automated curtains in the shower) and then the brochure from the worry beads museum as we made our way to Tolo where there was a beautiful beach and a Greek salad tsatsiki olive paste saganacki (fried cheese) and vegetables which made up this wonderful plate for me before the fish dishes came and then there was the wonderful fruit for dessert followed by coffee and strong Greek coffee with medium sweetening. After a shot of the beach. everyone put on their shoes and we admired how the water was very clear as we made our way to the parking lot and to our bus.

Our next stop was the ruins at Epidaurus where we began in the theater and worked our way up and down

pausing for a group picture and pictures of Dimitri descending before reaching the ground and waiting for Suzanne to come down so that our group could assemble on the stage and admire the acoustic (which are perfect)

before we gathered for a number of group pictures

and then a few pictures of Becca before our guide gave us an overview of the archaeological site and we did our exploration of the stadium with its entry tunnel and then on to the temple

where the group heard the story of the civilization that was here before we proceeded to explore and also see the construction site together with the details not to mention this picture of the columns in the Temple of Asklepios

with this information after which we explored and came upon the place where the hand of god dispersed the water but unfortunately we had to leave the complex and settle for photos of the flowers along the way

and then we stopped for water which was dispensed by the hand of Clayton (almost as it had been done in the temples. Back in the bus, we rode through orange groves before reaching the site of the ancient theater (a smaller one) in which we would see Philoctetes. After identifying where we would eat, we explored the town admired the climbing wall and mountains beyond and grape arbor before settling in for a dinner of bread stuffed tomatoes stuffed grape leaves cheese roll ups beer greens and beets together with a meat dish. After our watermelon Dimitri tried to appropriately celebrate Suzanne's birthday and then we move on to the theater to see Philoctetes.
