Today was another day trip in the middle of the week. I really like these day trips in the middle of the week because it doesn’t take away from our weekends and we get to miss class for the day and go somewhere cool. Today was Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth. We have passed over the Corinth Canal several times by now so it was nice to actually be going to the city which pops up in a ton of our readings and such. We had a later meeting time of 9 which was nice and were scheduled to be back before 6 so I was excited. We arrived first in Ancient Corinth which was beautiful. Since the Romans took it over a ton was preserved which always make it more interesting. Our professors actually worked on the site when they were younger so that also made it more interesting. Here are some pictures from Ancient Corinth:
Now you may notice the huge hill in the distance from Ancient Corinth – that is Acrocorinth, the acropolis of Corinth. We were told that we were going to be hiking that. Actually, the bus took us pretty far up and we had very minimal walking to do but the view was absolutely beautiful!
Afterwards, our professors told us that in honor of their daughters birthday that they were missing they wanted to take us all out for drinks at a café that over looked Ancient Corinth. It was an extremely kind gesture that we all enjoyed very much.
Once we got home, we relaxed for a bit before beginning our second Lord of the Rings night – The Two Towers. I was not the biggest fan but it was still a good night all in all. Tomorrow is puppy sitting!!! I can’t wait!
