Looking for Answers in Delphi


So what does a girl have to do to get a question answered around here?

My Owner thinks she's amusing and had a lot of fun with wise cracks about questions and answers when she visited Delphi, home of the famed Oracle.


Click here for the history of this enlightening place.


The city was built on a steep hill and seeing everything including the stadium at the top made MO wonder at the physical condition those ancients must have been in. The iconic statues are probably accurate. The landscape is quite rugged, but also breathtaking.






The Temple of Apollo...




 The view from Delphi



After touring the ruins one visits the museum at the bottom of the hillside.
Now MO didn't find any answers to her many questions in Delphi, but the museum is a strangely calming sanctuary, sedating in its cleanness.  Pictures are permitted and the museum had oddly casual security considering what it contained compared to The Vatican which is intense.



 MO was having the most delightful time, the weather was perfect and in the museum she nearly had a "historygasm" ... do I even need to tell you that she said this aloud?


Her filter is a little meshy.

A few hours after leaving this stunning bit of scenery however her trip was going to come to an abrupt end in Athens. But this morning, this morning was worth everything.
