Wrestling, Greece, etc.
I went to the Hardcore Homecoming shows over the weekend. Although I've lost a lot of interest in wrestling over the past 4 years or so, these shows were fun (notwithstanding the poor matches). I saw some people I haven't seen for years, which was nice. I also did photographs at ringside, which did make the event much more enjoyable and did make the matches easier to get into as well. I really don't dislike wrestling itself, it's the fanbase and many of the people associated with it that I don't like. Everything changes though, so you just have to get used to fans having to be a part of every event and wrestlers getting trained that are smaller than me. But, I did have fun and it did remind me faintly of some of the better times I had as a wrestling fan some 7 or 8 years ago.
I still am missing being in Greece very much this time, I must say. It's been tough being home and I think I've been a little detatched from people because I'm here, but my mind is definitely somewhere else.
That being said, here are a few of my pictures from the island of Delos. One of the most interesting places I've been, ever. It's a deserted island with only 2 or 3 small buildings housing the museum, cafe and utilities. The rest of the island consists of ruins.
Terrace of the Lions
One of the lions
Koinon of the Poseidoniasts
House of Kleopatra; these are Doric columns (not the Egyptian Cleopatra, this was about 75 years prior to her birth date)
Mosaic from the House of the Tritons; depicts a Tritoness and flying eros
Two Ionic columns (No, they aren't Jeep logos, lilostitch)
House of the Lake (if you look, the floor is a giant mosaic with a flower in the middle)
Temple of Isis
View of the site from Mt. Kynthos, which I was stupid enough to climb up despite having to be back at the ship in 45 minutes
More from atop Mt. Kynthos
