Greece
Okay, so my scribe runs off to Greece and all I get are these pics of jewelry.... Okay, and a kick-butt pair of earrings, but I think that's mostly because L wants to be able to borrow them by day.
I just want to say two quick things. 1) Yes, museum replicas of all of the above, please. 2) If I had that much gold, I could think of way better things to fashion it into than the mask of some ugly old guy (Agamemnon or no*).
(*Lucienne says no. It's called the Mask of Agamemnon, because it was found it what was originally thought to be his tomb, but wasn't. Plus, the thing that might actually be his tomb was first labeled the Treasury of Atreus. And she calls =me= confusing.)
Anyway, if you want to see more pretty pics and the trip report, L's posting them day by day.
Day 1 (Athens)
Day 2 (still Athens)
Day 3 (Corinth Canal, Epidaurus, Mycenae)
Day 4 (Olympia)
Day5 (Delphi)
Day 6 (Meteora and Thermopylae)
Day 7 (Athens and Cape Sounion)
